BIO
I am a research fellow at the University of Sydney and the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science (CIPPS). My research focuses on lipid membranes and how proteins and peptides recognize lipids and lipid membrane properties. I am particularly interested in the molecular mechanisms of intracellular lipid trafficking mediated by lipid transport proteins (LTPs) as well as the development of modulators/inhibitors of lipid transport proteins and fluorescent lipid biosensors to visualize lipids in cells.
