Scholar-generated biography
Lars NORDENSKIÖLD is a researcher at Nanyang Technological University, specializing in chromatin structure and biophysics. His work explores the biophysical mechanisms governing chromatin organization, focusing on the interactions between DNA, histones, and ions. NORDENSKIÖLD's research integrates molecular dynamics simulations and experimental approaches to investigate how ions and polyamines influence DNA and chromatin folding. His studies highlight the role of electrostatic forces, water, and cation binding in chromatin compaction and transcriptional regulation. By combining computational and experimental methods, he provides insights into the physicochemical basis of chromatin dynamics and its implications for gene expression.
