Research Interest
My research projects aim at a thorough understanding of the role of heterogeneity in molecular membrane organization on the functionality of the membrane-related immunological signalling events.
Objectives:
1.  To investigate how proteins involved in immune signalling partition in the heterogeneous membrane: into the ordered or disordered membrane domains?
2. Is the partitioning behaviour of a protein essential for its functionality (or is functionality preserved in the respective other phase)?
3. How is membrane heterogeneity modulated in immune cells?
4. Can a model membrane system be instituted as an in-vitro platform for investigating membrane-related aspects of the immune cell activation?
