Research summary
AI-generated

Ioulia Rouzina studies how DNA and proteins physically interact, using single-molecule biophysical tools like optical tweezers to measure forces and binding behaviors. Her work spans topics such as how viruses like HIV package and unpack their genetic material, how DNA-binding proteins (including drugs and metal complexes) attach to and reshape DNA, and how proteins that package DNA into chromosomes (nucleosomes) are altered by chemical modifications. This research combines physics, chemistry, and molecular biology to understand fundamental mechanisms relevant to viral infection, gene regulation, and drug design.
