Biomembrane Models and Interactions Therein

This webinar focuses on the study of biomembrane models and how various experimental techniques such as QCMD, ellipsometry, FTIR, neutron reflection, and AFM, can be used together to investigate membrane composition and molecular interactions.

Examples cover both mammalian and bacterial membranes, including how peptides, dendrimers, and nanoparticles interact with these systems.

The presenter, Prof. Marité Cárdenas highlights the importance of using complementary methods to achieve a true understanding of membrane structure and function.

Presentation by Prof. Marité Cárdenas

Marité Cárdenas is a Professor in Biomedical Science at Malmö University, currently in a Sabbatical year at the School of Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). She is an expert on various physical-chemical aspects of self-assembly in biological systems. Cárdenas's expertise centers on lipid-protein/DNA interactions and the characterization of their structures in solution and at interfaces. Examples include the structure of Biomembranes including membrane proteins, mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides, structural effects on nanoparticles upon interaction with serum proteins, lipoprotein structure, and their capacity to exchange fats.
