Welcome

Welcome to the Veatch Group!

Lipids are structural components of cell membranes that play vital roles in biological function.  We are interested in understanding how the physical properties of lipids, lipid mixtures, and lipid-protein interactions influence functions in cell plasma membranes.  To accomplish this, we draw on experimental and theoretical foundations in soft matter physics, physical chemistry, molecular and cell biology.
