What We’re Asking

  1. How are ions and lipids transported through cell membranes?
  2. How to precisely control ion and lipid transport?
  3. What are the biological functions of ion and lipid transport?
  4. What if ion and lipid transport goes awry?
  5. How to target ion and lipid transport to treat diseases?
