🚨 Lipid Time 🚨 New preprint out! Using high-throughput Martini 2 simulations, we studied ~5,000 transmembrane helices in a phase-separating membrane. Most helices preferred disordered environments, some localized at domain interfaces, but none in the liquid-ordered phase! doi.org/10.64898/202...

🚨 Preprint Alert 🚨 #LipidTime Excited to share our new preprint! 🎉 We propose a hypothesis for how FGF2 crosses the plasma membrane — a mechanism that may reflect a general principle of membrane remodeling. 🔑 Key idea: Non-bilayer lipid accumulation alters membrane properties, driving remodeling.

A bit late—but better late than never! Honored to present my work at #EBSA2025 in Rome a few weeks ago. I first attended EBSA in 2017 in Edinburgh and haven’t missed one since. This year in Rome—my first home—was especially meaningful. 🇮🇹 Already looking forward to Berlin 2027—my new home! 🇩🇪

Just back from the Jacques Monod Conference on Membrane Remodeling in Roscoff—an inspiring trip for Sebastian Schuck and Michael Meinecke (@meineckelab)! We had exciting science, engaged in inspiring discussions, and enjoyed the stunning setting. There’s nothing quite like membrane research.
