Martin Depken is an associate professor in the Department of Bionanoscience at TU Delft. He received his D.Phil in theoretical physics from Oxford University in 2005 and has since worked on solvable models of low-dimensional non-equilibrium systems. He completed postdoctoral training at MPI-PKS/MPI-CBG in Dresden, and the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. In 2011, he established the Theory of Molecular Machines group at the BN department of TU Delft. The group focuses on bottom-up mechanistic modeling of molecular machines, investigating critical structure-function relations in biology, health, and technology. They collaborate closely with experimentalists to explore how anti-viral drugs affect viral replication machinery, including systems like the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Additionally, they delve into CRISPR-Cas systems which have evolved to protect against viral invasions, utilizing RNA-guided nucleases for gene editing applications.
