In 2011, Dr. Poma obtained his  PhD degree under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Kurt Kremer (head of the polymer theory group, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz). He completed a postdoctoral internship in the group of Prof. Giovanni Ciccotti at University of Rome “La Sapienza” in Italy, working on biomolecular simulations. In 2018, he was appointed as an assistant professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPPT-PAN) and since 2021, he became a junior group leader at the ICRI-BioM.

THE SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH

The group’s research is aimed at developing computational strategies for sampling large conformational changes of biomolecules, designing synthetic biopolymer sequences, self-assembly of biopolymers and  protein nanomechanics. As the developer of the GoMARTINI model, Dr. Poma team designs new strategies for a multiscale tool. In collaboration with single-molecule force spectroscopy experts they study molecular interactions and long-range effects of single-point mutations  on protein stability.
