We are investigating functionalized synthetic membranes (FuSyMEM) in an international research project funded by the 6th European framework program (FP6).
Based on the role they play in events such as sensory perception, drug action and signal recognition, cellular membranes form a versatile area of research. Understanding and controlling cell membrane behaviour relies heavily on having the 'right tools for the job'. FuSyMEM will provide valuable insight into the membrane protein family, a key class of macromolecules. The project partners aim to utilise the knowledge gained from FuSyMEM to develop innovative applications, such as biosensors, mainly in the pharma-industry.
