[DBS lunch seminar] Denis Kutnjak: “Environmental virology and virus ecology: from plant virus diversity to monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater”
Seminar room of physics (106)Abstract Viruses likely represent the most diverse part of the biosphere; nevertheless, a large part of their diversity is still unknown. Viromics approaches, based on high-throughput sequencing, enable the studies of virus diversity inside and outside of their hosts, in … Read More
Ilja Doršner: Fully Testable Axion Dark Matter within a Minimal SU(5) Unification Model
https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (F1 tea room)I will present a minimal Grand Unified Theory model, based on an SU(5) gauge symmetry and a global U(1) Peccei-Quinn symmetry, that predicts the existence of an ultralight axion dark matter within a narrow mass range between 0.1 neV and … Read More
[Biophysics journal club] Marin Šako: “Bicelle-to-Vesicle Transition”
Seminar room of physics (106)Vesicles are of great research interest as they not only form naturally but are also artificially produced as liposomes, primarily used as a drug (including vaccines) delivery mechanism, owning to their biocompatibility with the cell membrane. An essential step of … Read More

[Biophysics seminar] Marc Cabases: “Interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with surfaces and surfactants: Molecular dynamics simulations”
Seminar room of physics (106)I will talk about the work accomplished for two years of my PhD. First, I will explain the simulations of the interaction between the spike protein and human skin. Using all-atom (AA) simulations we showed which are the relevant residues … Read More
[Biophysics seminar] Horacio Guzman, “Adsorption patterns of the WT, delta and omicron RBDs onto polarized model surfaces”
F1 tearoomRespiratory viruses are airborne and commonly form microdroplets which can be easily adsorbed onto surfaces of different materials, like plastics, metals or skin. Although these situations occur on a daily basis, less is known about the mechanisms and effectiveness of … Read More
[Biophysics seminar] Anže Božič: “Changes in number of dissociable amino acids on spike proteins and nucleoproteins of SARS-CoV-2 variants and other coronaviruses”
Seminar room of physics (106)The seminar will take place in the seminar room of physics (106).
Patrick Bolton: Probing the Nature of Heavy Neutral Leptons in Direct Searches and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (Zoom)In this seminar, I will discuss recent efforts to assess the complementarity of direct searches at fixed target experiments and searches for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay in probing the Majorana vs. pseudo-Dirac nature of a Heavy Neutral Lepton (HNL) … Read More
Benjamin Fuks: Composite dark matter: simplified models, non-minimality and overlooked channels
https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (Zoom)Studies of dark matter lie at the interface of collider physics, astrophysics and cosmology, and they entail comparisons with a wide spectrum of data. We consider an effective top-philic t-channel model of dark matter, which finds some motivation in composite … Read More
