Research areas: Biomaterial and Biophysics: Thousands of different lipids and proteins form cell membranes. Cell function and location in tissue and organs influence membrane composition of these components. The lipid bilayer structure, by itself, has distinct properties, like fluidity and phase. Both lipid composition and its phase play important roles in the bilayer. My lab explores these relationship of the cell membrane and lipids. |
