Lecture 'Meet the PhD Jury - Lipid metabolism: connecting the dots'

The Gavin lab has a strong research interest in the study of lipid metabolism and the regulation of cellular membranes homeostasis, and their roles in some human pathologies, e.g. infections and Alzheimer, with a special focus on the machinery involved in the creation and maintenance of lipid gradients in eukaryotic cells, and the study of mechanisms by which lipid signatures are sensed and “read” by effector proteins.

The lab research programs integrate biochemical, mass spectrometry, proteomics, microfluidics and bioinformatics to map cellular protein-lipid interactions at molecular levels, both spatially and temporally.
