Damien BAIGL
Synthetic and Living Soft Matter
Biography
Professor (exceptional class, ENS). Curiosity driven, we use simple and original approaches to observe, manipulate and control soft matter, with contributions in dynamic DNA nanotechnology, soft optogenetics, home-made synthetic cells, light-driven microfluidics.
Research Topics
Solid-State NMR of Living Systems
Solid-state NMR methods for studying living microorganisms and biological systems.
Fluorescent Biosensors and Chemical Biology
Development of novel fluorescent biosensors and chemical-genetic tools for live-cell imaging.
Projects
This work analyses the molecular determinants of electron and proton transfer at protein–cofactor interfaces. The goal is to map dynamic couplings and identify structural motifs enabling efficient energy conversion.
