| Our labotarory is interested in the properties of biological membranes and how they relate to membrane function. These studies range from investigating the molecular details of the interactions of proteins and peptides with membranes which result in alteration of function, to studies of the organization of viral membranes. Currently, areas of research include the mechanism of fusion of enveloped viruses with cells, the modulation of protein activity by membrane lipids, the role of membranes in signal transduction and the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides.
