DESCRIPTION:Prof. Wanda Kukulski\, Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular
  Medicine\, University of Bern (CH)\nWEEKLY EPFL BIOE TALKS SERIES\n\nAbst
 ract:\nOrganelles interact through close apposition of their membranes. Su
 ch contact sites serve the exchange of lipid molecules\, calcium transport
  and organelle biogenesis. The mechanisms by which lipids are transferred 
 across organelle contact sites are poorly understood because little is kno
 wn about the underpinning supramolecular structure. We aim to reveal the a
 rchitecture composed of proteins and apposing membranes and thereby shed l
 ight on how these microenvironments facilitate the transport of lipid mole
 cules between organelles. Towards this goal\, we employ correlative light 
 and electron microscopy approaches including electron cryo-tomography. We 
 complement these tools with live fluorescence imaging\, biochemical and ce
 ll biological experiments.\n\nBio:\n\n	Since 2020 Professor and group lead
