Guest Lecture : Mathias Winterhalter

Transport of small molecules across membranes

Mathias Winterhalter est professeur de biophysique à Constructor University Bremen (anciennement Jacobs University) en Allemagne. Il est actuellement Fellow-in-Residence à CYAS, invité par le laboratoire LAMBE.

Life is based on compartmentation and the control of access. For example, Gram-negative bacteria protecting their inside with a sophisticated double wall. The cell needs to harvest nutrients while rejecting cell toxic substances. Within a larger consortium we tried to understand the rate limiting steps in antibiotic uptake and transport related resistance. For this we developed techniques to quantify the transport across the few nm thick membrane and in particular the flux across membrane channel. 

Here during my stay in Cergy we try to develop a sensor based on solid state miniaturized chips and functionalize them specifically with membrane channel. We expect that such hybrid material to have the robustness of solid state material with the versability of channel forming proteins.
