DESCRIPTION:Stefano Vanni\nBiological membranes play an essential role in 
 many cellular signaling pathways. Yet\, because of difficulties in perform
 ing structural studies on lipid membranes\, several of their molecular pro
 perties remain elusive\, thus preventing to establish clear structure-func
 tion relationships. To overcome these limitations\, we adopted a multidisc
 iplinary approach that combines molecular dynamics simulations\, topograph
 ic analysis\, and experimental measurements in vitro and in vivo. We apply
  this methodology to elucidate the role of membrane properties in differen
 t vesicular trafficking pathways\, including the role of membrane curvatur
 e and composition in protein recruitment to intracellular organelles and t
 he role of polyunsaturated lipids in endocytic processes.
