Chemical Cell Biology Laboratory
We aim to understand the molecular mechanisms by which lipids regulate membrane protein activities and function and the impact of such lipid/protein assemblies in a subset of human diseases (cancer, neurodegenerative) and to map membrane protein-lipid interactome networks in the cell. The long-term objective is to obtain the cell blueprint that will help to understand and overcome biological processes and their consequences in human diseases. In short, knowing how to read the cell blueprint will tell us, for instance, how and what drives cancer and what part of the networks should be target before and after the network adapts and mutates.
