Membrane Protein Biochemistry Lab
Biochimie des Protéines Membranaires
Our laboratory gathers biologists, physicists and chemists who are interested in the structure, structural dynamics and physical chemistry of membrane proteins, either in membrane mimetic systems (liposomes or nanodiscs), or in classical detergent solutions or alternative surfactants such as amphipols.
Following the footsteps of Jean Perrin who created the institute together with Baron Edmond de Rothschild, we develop fundamental, interdisciplinary research for health and environment.

Again, a bunch of cool readings … the world of membranes is as inspired as ever !
Cherries on top: Statistical physicists set out to ‘scientifically optimize’ the recipe of cacio e pepe and a series of paper to guide you through the way to Nobel prize (thank you Corentin Largeau for the latter press review; do not hesitate to contribute as well if you are inspired !)

Busy week ! The membrane digest is arriving with a slight delay and in a more detailed format this time (not concise three-sentence summaries, but full abstracts). Nonetheless the content remains just as rich and exciting !
Have a nice day and a nice week,

Facts and Figures
Research is a collective adventure where cohesion of the team is essential. We foster social activities to stimulate exchange of expertise, mentoring and synergies between research topics. Social life around the Institute is highly attractive for students and early researchers.
