PSB Seminar by Magnus Andersson (Umeå university, SE) – “Tracking membrane transport and regulation in real time”
Assoc. Prof. Magnus Andersson, Department of Chemistry, Umeå university, Sweden. https://www.umu.se/en/research/groups/magnus-p-andersson-lab/ Talk abstract P-type ATPase transport is carried out in a complex lipid environment and is regulated by both external and internal factors. We have developed a methodology to track P-type ATPase domain rearrangements in real time triggered by laser-induced release of ATP and subsequent […]

The 2-day seminar is open toall staff from the GRAL labs (= BGE / BioSanté / IBS / LCBM / LPCV), as well as close collaborators in Grenoble, including PSB members. It will be […]
PSB Spotlight on Single-Molecule Technology
Location: IBS Seminar Room, EPN Campus, Grenoble Time: 09:15-12:00 This event will be dedicated to the presentation of two single-molecule techniques: (i) optical tweezers (C-Trap), and (ii) atomic force microscopy (conventional, high speed and correlative), to illustrate the potential of these two techniques to provide functional insight into dynamic processes that are difficult to apprehend […]
PSB Spotlight on Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Location: IBS Seminar Room, EPN Campus, Grenoble Time: 09:00-12:20 Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) underlies the formation of membrane-less condensates that regulate essential cellular processes and are implicated in cancer, neurodegeneration, gene regulation or infection. The PSB Spotlight brings together researchers from across the campus—and beyond—to share insights into LLPS and highlight how light and neutron […]
