We are looking for Ph.D. applicants and one Postdoctoral fellow. Please note, You should be enrolled in IISER PhD program. During 1st year, PhD students should do at least ONE hands-on project in the lab.
Part of a collection: Protein-Mediated Membrane Remodeling. Journal of Membrane Biology (July 2022).
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids (January 2024). The first frame shows a quasi-spherical GUV prepared in water. AA (17.86μM) is added in the exterior compartment, and (a) the image is obtained approximately t = 104s. Shape changes, as observed by phase contrast microscopy, evolve from the beginning toward (b) t = 4304s and (c) t = 5463s for the same GUV. The buds remain connected to the mother GUV by a narrow membrane neck. The scale bar is 10μm and applies to all frames.
