You will join the laboratory of Professor Satyajit Mayor in the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology, Biomedical Sciences Directorate at Warwick Medical School to define and develop sensors for local membrane properties ranging from the biophysical to the mechanical. The Mayor laboratory is one of the leading laboratories, working on understanding basic cellular mechanisms that govern chemical, biophysical and mechanical properties of the cell membrane. This project is in collaboration with Robert Ernst (Membrane Cell Biology and Biophysics, University of Saarland) and the Molecular Tools and Imaging (MTI) at the HHMI Janelia Research Institute. Mayor and Ernst study the crosstalk of proteins and lipids in health and disease...
