Petrovič lab – group members

 

We try to answer the ultimate question of lipids, membranes and cells as a whole. Due to ridiculously ~105-fold too short expected life span, we rely on experimental data and some clever bioinformatics algorithms. Since we firmly suspect the interconnectedness of all things, we predominantly use genome-wide approaches.
