Welcome to the Aydin Lab

Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology & Biophysics

About Our Lab

We are a biochemistry and cell biology lab that is interested in understanding how human cells adapt their morphology and spatial distribution to changing cellular conditions and how proteins and protein complexes that are associated with membranes regulate the multi-dimensional organizational principles of cellular systems. Our current work is focused on exploring how macromolecules get together, communicate with each other, and facilitate physiological processes. We seek to understand how biological machines work–especially those that depend on lipids for their form and function.
