Membranes and Cellular Functions

Lipid membranes exhibit non-trivial properties especially at length scales larger than protein molecular sizes. A purely molecular description of membranes is insufficient to arrive at a quantitative understanding of their functions and require meso-scale concepts coming from soft matter and statistical physics.

Three research projects at Institut Curie financed by the ERC Synergy Grant

Three projects at Institut Curie are laureate of the highly selective and prestigious Synergy Grant 2022 program, awarded by the European Research Council. These three grants, for an amount of 10 million euros each, shine a light on Institut Curie’s excellence and its teams in cellular biology. A breakthrough field to further the fight against cancer.
