John Palmeri
John is Senior Scientist at CNRS. He uses the theoretical methods of Statistical Physics to study problems at the intersection of Biophysics and Soft Matter: DNA under force, Physical Genomics: DNA segregation in bacteria, Gene expression (transcription and translation), Protein intra-cellular phase transitions; Nanofluidics and Nanofiltration: Ion and molecular transport in ion channels and nanopores.
Role in IONESCO
John, in collaboration with Manoel (Partner from the university of Toulouse 3) develop theoretical modelling of ion and molecular transport in carbon nanotubes.
