About

Torsten John is an Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry at Constructor University in Germany. His research focuses on self-assembly processes in peptide fibrils and hybrid materials, with a particular emphasis on applications for neural regeneration and virus particle isolation. His recent publications explore the dynamics of amyloid fibril growth, the design of amphiphilic dendrimers, and the role of lipid oxidation in peptide self-assembly.
