Membrane Biochemistry/Biophysics
My laboratory studies the effect of various important biochemicals
on membrane structure and function. We are particularly interested
in the anti-cancer properties of omega-3 fatty acids (a major
component of fish oils) and the mode of action of the lipid-soluble
vitamins A and E. We also investigate the interaction of plant
hormones with membranes and the effect of oxidative phosphorylation
uncouplers on membrane bioenergetics All projects are based
on unraveling the mysteries of how membrane structure affects
living processes.
