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.

Our research themes

Research within the laboratory is organized in four main themes.

Bioenergetics

Membrane proteins in their lipid membranes

Membrane's digest

20260914_membrane digest

You’ll find below your Membrane’s Digest.
Week after week, breakthroughs pile up, from generative sampling breaking the timescales barrier in MD conformational transitions to MPs emerging as biomarkers and resistance determinants in triple-negative breast cancer.

A wealth of exciting papers to fill your week (and if you need a laugh, the Ig Nobels remind us that even cockroach milk and splash-free urinals have their place in the spotlight) !

Dear all,
After one month slowly catching up with delayed literature, the Membrane’s Digest is back in its regular format… and what an amazing line-up we have!
Innovations, new concepts, and new tools, all at the service of membrane protein advances, with promising openings towards Antibiotic Resistance, Cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and Cancer.

Truly, an amazing time to work in science.

Cherry on top: a shoutout to the one and only 🎸🔫🥀🎩 (do you have the ref. ?):

FP-DYNAMO-PARIS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME

In our laboratory, there are 4 fellowship post-doctorants.

This project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (grant agreement No 101034407).

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.
