Welcome to the de Vries lab
We use laser spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to shed light on intriguing questions, such as:
-
What is special about the specific base pairs that make up the machinery of life?
-
What are the forces that make a peptide fold?
-
Can we understand the role of solvent by studying the effect of one water molecule at a time?
-
Is it possible that the buildingblocks of life arrived at the earth on meteoites?
- What did people eat 4000 years ago?
