My research revolves around the fascinating world of biological membranes – the delicate boundaries that shape cells and enable life. I am particularly intrigued by how the distribution of lipids within membranes influences their function and properties. To better understand these complex systems, we work with minimalistic membrane models and cutting-edge experimental techniques, especially scattering methods, which allow us to delve deep into molecular structure and dynamics.

In my research group, we deal with exciting questions such as:

• Why are phospholipids distributed asymmetrically in the cell membrane?
• How do the properties of the membrane influence the function of membrane proteins?
• How do membranes react to active substances?
