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.
