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

New cool tools to manipulate MPs, structures, structures and structures, elephants pranking each other, mechanistic characterization of a key enzyme from the causative agent of sleeping sickness—no fooling around here, no time for a nap!
20241112_membrane digest
Buckle up for an especially exciting weekly digest packed with inspiring research at every level ! Structures, MP-membrane interactions, new AI/ML tools for MPs, and even experimental validation of what could be the first ‘protocell’ sphere—potentially mimicking early stages of cell membrane evolution. And yes, you read that right: the digest also deals with RNA (who would have thought we’d be exploring that in these pages ?)
Have a nice week !

The team
FP-DYNAMO-PARIS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME
In our laboratory, there are 4 fellowship post-doctorants.
This project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (grant agreement No 101034407).
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.
