Laboratory

Summary

The Laboratory of Biological Electronic Microscopy (LBEM) at EPFL focuses on studying biological systems at the nanoscale using advanced microscopy techniques. Their research delves into understanding the structural basis of biological processes, such as the allosteric inhibition of human ABCG2 by nanobodies and the activation mechanism of prokaryotic immune systems. LBEM also investigates the genomic screening of bat species for zoonotic coronaviruses and develops innovative methods for single-cell viability testing. The lab's work extends to studying nanomotion in mitochondria and Candida albicans, as well as the self-assembly dynamics of beta-sheet peptides.
