DESCRIPTION:Biological membranes must tightly regulate the lateral distrib
 ution of inclusions to facilitate the key functionalities they host\, rang
 ing from signal transduction to molecular trafficking and cellular motion.
  Bottom-up synthetic biology aims to replicate behaviours usually observed
  in living matter in cell-like objects called “artificial cells”\, so 
 to deepen our understanding of biological processes as well as to unlock p
 romised technological applications in biomedicine\, biosynthesis\, and bio
 remediation. Exploiting the tools of self-assembly\, chemical nanotechnolo
 gy\, and membrane biophysics\, my research uses DNA molecules to build two
 - and three-dimensional nano-scaled architectures that can replicate the s
 tructure and function of membrane proteins\, allowing us to engineer funct
 ionality in the lipid membrane of artificial cells.
