Research Focus
Dr. Arthur D. Laganowsky's lab focuses on understanding how lipids interact with membrane proteins, which are essential for many biological processes. They study the complex relationships between lipids and proteins to reveal how lipids can influence the behavior and function of these proteins within cell membranes. By using advanced techniques like mass spectrometry and lipidomics, the lab aims to uncover insights that can improve our understanding of cell biology and membrane function.
