Nominator's project description
| Professor de Mendoza is a world leader in the field of bacterial lipids. He discovered and dissected the signal transduction pathway controlling membrane lipid homeostasis in bacteria: The first global transcriptional regulator of genes involved in lipid synthesis and also a transmembrane signaling system to adjust membrane lipid fluidity. In Germany, he intends studying metabolism and function of lipids in C. elegans that will help advancing in the elucidation of novel mechanism controlling both, lipid synthesis and signal transduction processes. |
