Controlling droplet interface bilayers with microfluidics
by arthiaparthiam1, 11 septembre 2020
We are presently developing droplet microfluidics systems to generate high throughput model bilayers for detecting protein activity/functionality.
Biophysical regulation of neutral lipids accumulation

One of our current focus is to understand how lipid surfactants and membrane physical properties are involved in the formation and utilization of cellular lipid droplets.

Membrane determinants for protein binding to droplet monolayers
by arthiaparthiam1, 11 septembre 2020
We aim to understand membrane properties and protein features that mediate the specific binding of proteins to droplet monolayers. We use reconstitution assays to probe the interaction of purified proteins with model membranes made by droplet interface bilayers or liposomes. We also probe in a cellular context whether the established parameters affect protein localization.
