Welcome to the Biological Emulsions ‘ research group. Our team belongs to the biophysics axe of the Laboratoire de Physique at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris . We carry on multidiscplinary reasearches on membrane biophysics and emulsion science combined with cell biology. We address questions around the regulation of cellular lipids, notably how intracellular oil-in-water lipid droplets form and get “functionalized” by the recruitment of proteins to their surface. Another activity in the group is
Circles in left represent labeled proteins that localized to lipid droplet surface in fly cells – Circles in right panel correspond to artificial lipid droplets (reg) contained in a giant vesicle.
