We are a very happy to welcome Hridya VM who is joining PhyLife as a postdoc in Himanshu Khandelia’s research group. Hridya completed her PhD at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. She joins PhyLife from July 2021 to investigate transport mechanisms in membrane proteins.
We are a very happy to welcome Francesca Serra who is joining PhyLife and FKF as associate professor in experimental physics. Francesca comes from a position at Johns Hopkins University where she has been since 2016. Her research is focused on applying concepts from liquid crystal physics to a wider class of systems such as …

Co-supervisor: Ilia Solov’yov, Institut for Fysik, Kemi og Farmaci. External Examiner: Günther H.J. Peters Institut for Kemi, DTU.
In a collaboration with The Danish Cancer Society, Mularski et al, from the Simonsen Lab, describes how simultaneous membrane binding of Annexin A4 and A5 suppresses 2D lattice formation while maintaining curvature induction. Hypothesis: Annexin A4 and A5 (ANXA4, ANXA5), both shown to be required for efficient plasma membrane repair (PMR) in living cells, bind …
In a collaboration with The Danish Cancer Society, Klenow et al, from the Simonsen Group, desribes how annexins A1 and A2 accumulate and are immobilized at cross-linked membrane−membrane interfaces. Rapid membrane repair is required to ensure cell survival after rupture of the plasma membrane. The annexin family of proteins is involved in plasma membrane repair …
