Main Focus
Growth of synthetic cell:
- Reconstitution of membrane proteins into microcompartments
- Development of microfluidic setups for real-time monitoring of protein-functionalized microcompartments
- Biophysical analysis of graft copolymer and hybrid (lipid/polymer) microcompartments and interactions with membrane proteins (lateral diffusion, bending rigidity, passive proton permeability)
- Salt, charge and SNARE-mediated growth
