Protein-membrane interactions in health and disease in the Galvagnion Group
Our research aims at understanding how changes in protein-lipid interactions can lead to the loss of function and/or the gain of toxicity of proteins in the context of disease.
About us
We aim at providing mechanistic insights into the interplay between disruptions in lipid homeostasis and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s Disease. In order to address this question, we use a multidisciplinary approach at the interface between biology and biophysics including the study of different disease cellular models, the analysis of lipidomic and proteomic changes in patient derived samples and the characterization of protein-membrane interactions and aggregation at the molecular level.
Our funding
Our Team
We are an ambitious, supportive and inclusive research group. In our laboratory, we value individual talent within a strong collaborative and multidisciplinary environment. Our motivation relies on boundless curiosity and the mission to provide better mechanistic understanding of the early events of Parkinson’s disease. We know that success relies on strong team work so if you share our values and can see yourself contributing to our team follow the link below.
