Structure, organization, and function of membrane proteins and membrane lipids
Our group studies biomembrane structure and function by combining spectroscopic methods, especially fluorescence, as well as a combination of chemical, biochemical, cell biological and molecular biological approaches. In general, we are interested in determining how membranes are organized by lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions and how lipids influence membrane protein function.
