Discovering new membrane proteins' functions with multi-scale molecular simulations
NOTE TIME CHANGE TO 1PM
Stefano Vanni studied Physics at the University of Bologna, Italy, where he received his B.Sc and M.Sc in Theoretical Physics. Later, he obtained his Ph.D. in the field of Computational Chemistry and Biochemistry at EPF, Lausanne, before joining the Institut de Pharmacologie Cellulaire et Moleculaire at CNRS in Sophia Antipolis, France, as a postdoctoral fellow. Since 2015, he is tenured researcher at CNRS, and since 2017, he is Associate Professor in Membrane Biochemistry in the Department of Biology at the University of Fribourg. Since 2018 he is affiliated to the NCCR in Bio-Inspired Materials and ERC Investigator. His main research focus is the molecular understanding of the role of membrane and lipid physicochemical properties in intracellular trafficking processes and lipid metabolism
