The organization of structural lipids in synaptic membranes (B01)

Subject Area Biophysics
Term from 2017 to 2021
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 317475864
 
The lipid composition of the synapse has been difficult to study. Structural lipids, including abundant phospholipids, cholesterol or sphingolipids, are poorly understood. Their concentrations in synaptic membranes are unclear, and their distributions are virtually unknown. I propose to approach this problem by combining two state-of-the-art lipid analysis tools, based on secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS): time-of-flight SIMS (ToF-SIMS), and nanoscale SIMS (NanoSIMS).
