We are pleased to announce the next CEMO seminar on Wednesday 6th of December in the Pasteur 2 room, from noon to 2 pm.

We have an invited speaker coming from KULeuven.

Justyna STARTEK works as a postdoctoral researcher in the Laboratory of Ion Channel Research (VIB-KU Leuven) and the title of her talk is: A TR(I)P THROUGH TRPA1 MECHANOSENSITIVITY

During the last 10 years, Justyna Startek focused her research on the novel aspects of TRPA1 channel activation mechanisms by different classes of non-electrophilic agonists, involving the induction of changes in mechanical properties of the cellular membrane. Additionally, she studied TRPA1 interactions with cellular membranes and certain lipids such as cholesterol and sphingolipids, which led to the discovery of multiple lipid-protein interaction domains, linking this channel activation to properties of the bilayer.

​The talk will be followed by a lunch (sandwiches)​

In order to have an estimation of the people having a sandwich, please do not forget to fill out the survey (deadline Monday the 4th at noon):
