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.
Our research themes
Research within the laboratory is organized in four main themes.
Bioenergetics
Membrane proteins in their lipid membranes
Dynamics of membrane transport
Tool box for membrane protein studies

20250114_membrane digest
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,
20250107_membrane digest
Dear all,
A HOT membrane digest ahead, where MPs cluster, partition, condensate, multimerize, distribute non homogeneously and are degraded … Eventually, a good advice for this new year from Marie Curie: Slow productivity … festina lente !
Have a nice week,

The team
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.
