Welcome to the Dutagaci Lab!
We use computers to study biomolecular systems and processes. Molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning techniques help us to develope mechanistic understandings of the functions of biomolecules. Our current research focuses on RNA polymerase dynamics, function and spatial organizations.
