This is a great possi bility to learn hosting skills in friendly environment and create connecti ons for future. Every student is welcome to join\, in spite of which resea rch group they belong to. BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.\n\nIf you go t interested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\n\n  \;\n\nRoberta Croce and her lab are aiming to understand the molecular bas es of the light reactions of photosynthesis to extract the building princi ples of the light to energy conversion machinery and to use them to improv e photosynthesis efficiency and guide the design of artificial systems. Th ey analyze the photosynthetic apparatus at different levels of complexity from a single molecule to the whole organism\, which can be a bacterial ph otosynthetic cell or a plant.  They exploit a large number of techniques varying from ultrafast spectroscopies\, plant physiology\, biochemistry\, and molecular biology. These experimental approaches are integrated with t heoretical modeling and molecular dynamics simulations.\n\n \;\n\nSele cted publications\n\nMascoli V\, Bhatti A.F. \, Bersanini L.\, van Amerong en H. and Croce R.
