Artemi Bendandi
Reports
Research activity
Artemi Bendandi’s research is focused on the study of chromatin, the ensemble of histone proteins and DNA that enables the genome to become compact and fit inside the nuclei of cells. Her primary research concerns the computational study of electrostatic interactions between DNA and protein, through the study of the electrostatic interactions between nucleosome pairs and the examination of the electrostatic importance of the histone tails, the disordered terminal domains of the histones bearing positive charge, which contrasts the negative charge of the DNA backbone and influences several processes of biological importance. To conduct her research, Artemi uses computational applications of the Poisson Boltzmann equation and molecular dynamics simulations. During her PhD, Artemi Bendandi also participated in theoretical Mueller matrix microscopy research, contributing to works regarding the theoretical development of the coherency matrix formalism and its application on biological samples. This approach provides a label-free, non-invasive way to increase contrast in biological imaging.
