Membranes
Membranes surround all cells. Defective membrane function leads to disorders such as hypertension, migraine, and muscle weakness. We want to understand how membrane function is controlled and how their dysfunction links to disease.
What We Do
We study how membrane-spanning proteins, in the form of receptors and transport proteins, collect and exchange information from their surroundings and thereby regulate cellular processes of critical importance. Examples are transport proteins controlling cerebrospinal fluid secretion, receptors that sense nutrients in the intestine, and channels that control muscle movement.
Who We Are
Our theme hosts more than 25 groups who collaborate with clinicians and the pharmaceutical sector.
Meet Associate Professor Stephan Lange
The molecular origins and pathways associated with the development and progression of human cardiac and skeletal myopathies.
Meet Associate Professor Rikke Nielsen
How can we clarify cellular mechanisms and use the knowledge to treat certain eye- and kidney diseases?
