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...

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...

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

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

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...

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
