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.

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,
BPM

20250102_membrane digest
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.
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.
