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

Happy 2025 !
As always, the year starts in dragster mode so these next few days are perfect for setting schedules, refining routines, and reflecting on resolutions.
Here is an easy and obvious one: go on with a regular delivery of interesting, important and unexpected membrane-related news, the BPM membrane digest !
Here is the first 2025 issue !

PS: Feel free to share with anyone who might be interested, it’s super easy to be added to the mailing list: simply drop me a mail.
PS2: Don’t hesitate to suggest papers to include in the list ! Some gems might slip through my PubMed filters or my scans of Bluesky, Twitter, and other platforms.

Oh Oh Oh, it looks like Christmas has come early this year!
From electron diffraction to 19F NMR, from total eclipses and volcanic smokes down to the deepest oceans—there’s a little bit of wonder for everyone to enjoy.
Wishing you all a joyful and discovery-filled holiday season!

20241209_membrane digest
Because of a crazy busy end of year, the membrane digest has taken some delay … but we’re back with cool articles putting lipids and cholesterol under the spotlight, but also showing that “microplastics it’s not fantastic” and that math is here to help Ross pivot.

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.
