Dr. Ralf Blossey is a statistical physicist. Throughout the roughly first ten years of his career, his research was mainly on wetting phenomena, in particular on the dynamic behaviour near first-order transitions in various physical systems. In the new millennium his interest shifted towards biophysical applications of statistical physics, the two main lines being processes related to gene regulation and macromolecular electrostatics. In the period 2003-2013 he directed a research team at the Interdisciplinary Research Institute in Lille under its former name « Biological Nanosystems ». In 2014, the team joined the research laboratory on glycobiology UGSF.
