Characterization of rheological, dynamical, structural and thermodynamic features in aqueous systems of amphiphilic polymers

In this project we address association phenomena that take place in systems containing amphiphilic polymers (consist of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts) and surfactants. To gain a fundamental insight into mechanisms that control polymer-surfactant interactions and the formation of associat...

Testing the cost-of-virulence hypothesis: Does a horizontally transmitted parasite have an optimal virulence?

Parasitism is a constant threat to human health, food production and wildlife conservation. Some species, or strains, produce highly lethal diseases while others are benign. Trying to understand the reasons for this variation in virulence is one of the ma jor challenges in epidemiology. In this p...
