Membrane Cooperativity Unit
The Membrane Cooperativity Unit strives to understand how cellular plasma membranes work at very fundamental levels. For this purpose, the unit is dedicated to developing unique methodologies of single-molecule observation-manipulation in living cells and elucidating the mechanisms for the plasma membrane organization and function. This is enabled by cooperative interactions of molecules in/on the plasma membrane, with particular emphases on signal transduction and neuronal network formation, by extensively using single-molecule technologies.
