Membrane - small molecule interactions

Biological membranes are essential for the integrity of the cell, and transport of  molecules (e.g. steroids, drugs, etc.) through  membranes is an important process for  molecules to reach their target.

We are particularly interested in:

• To study the interactions of neurotransmitters and organic osmolytes with membranes.
• To understand role of organic osmolytes in the regulation of the osmotic pressure in cells.
