Gulliver seminars take place on Mondays at 11:30 AM in the F304 room, and typically last one hour including questions. The seminars are in English, and the scientific topics are mainly those studied in the laboratory.
Gulliver Seminar : Patricia Bassereau (Curie)
Lipid membranes and membrane proteins : an intimate relationship
Cell membranes, being highly deformable, undergo significant bending during processes like intracellular trafficking. This curvature relies on specific proteins, particularly those intrinsically curved or transmembrane proteins with a conical shape. Proteins diffuse within membranes, enabling redistribution based on changes in membrane shape. In vitro membrane systems with controlled curvature, coupled with theoretical models, help unravel the intricate interplay between membrane shape, protein distribution, lateral diffusion, and their impact on sorting, clustering, and protein activity.

The audience is often heterogeneous - because of the wide range of scientific topics covered in the lab - so planning a talk for a broader audience would be preferred. The seminar is in English, and speakers are thus invited to prepare their slides in English.
The seminar starts at 11:30 AM. The speaker is asked to arrive in the lab at least 15 minutes in advance to set up their computer. The talks last typically 45 minutes, and are followed by a discussion time.
