Working on rhomboid proteases or Derlins? Interested in membrane proteases? Like pretty figures? Have a look at my latest review on the rhomboid super-family. The largest family of membrane proteins, and across all organisms, but strangely understudied... doi.org/10.1016/j.jb... @fmp-berlin.de

Interested in rhomboids? Or want to discuss a new method of looking at lipid-protein interactions? Then come on down to poster 169 today! (Or some find me whenever). Extra points if you ask about my lipid tattoo... #EBSARome2025 #EBSA2025

Conference season has begun, time to see if anyone is hiring for a membrane/structural biochemist postdoc 👀 #EBSARome #EBSA2025

Happy to be a part of this! Functional viroporins and an idea about how they transduct protons? Yes please.

All cells are encapsulated by a membrane of complex lipidic composition, right? Not anymore! @JamesSaenz.bsky.social et al. show that a ‘minimal’ bacterial cell only needs 2 lipid species #microNatComms #Microbiology #CellBiology #lipids Read the paper: www.nature.com/artic...

A tuneable minimal cell membrane reveals that two lipid species suffice for life

Nature Communications - All cells are encapsulated by a membrane of complex lipidic composition, and understanding the roles of different lipids in membrane function is experimentally challenging...
