Structure and Function of Biological Membranes laboratory
The Structure and Function of Biological Membranes at Université libre de Bruxelles
Who?
The research unit is composed of seven research groups, exploring the molecular basis of key biological processes ranging from bacterial resistance to inherited diseases.
What?
Our team have complementary expertise in different biophysical and biochemical approaches to study proteins. We put a special emphasis on the study of the structure and function of membrane proteins and on the molecular basis of bacterial survival mechanisms.
Where?
We are located in heart of the Plaine Campus at the University of Brussels (ULB). Practically, we are in the BC building, Level 4, Wing B. The secretary can be found in the office 1C4.201.
Why?
Structural biology provides new insights about biological processes happening at the submicroscopic level. Such knowledge can be harnessed to design tailored solutions to various health issues. We aim to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease, Cystic fibrosis, drug toxicity and microbial resistance
