The multiscale laboratory is a group of researchers with common interests in the range of physical phenomena produced by the interplay of different scales, for instance between single molecules and collection of them (mesoscale). Multiscalelab is hosted at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB).
We study protein dynamics and association using mainly gaming hardware as Playstation3 and Nvidia graphics cards. One of our most important project is called ps3grid.net. Via a computational study of proteins we can help experimental scientists to understand at a more fundamental level the mechanisms that produce certain outcomes in an experiment. This help designing further experiments and ultimately increase our knowledge on a disease. We are particularly interested in proteins related to Alzheimer disease.
