🎤 Sought-after everywhere! After delivering a great and crystal-clear talk at #BiomembraneDays2025 on asymmetric membranes in ternary mixtures, @markusdeserno.bsky.social also spoke in Barcelona. 🌍

Barcelona Collaboratorium @barcelonacollaboratorium.com · 6d

We were pleased to host a charismatic speaker at the Collab today, Markus Deserno / Carnegie Mellon Uni.

The presentation provided a thoughtful exploration of ternary asymmetric lipid membranes.

Thank you to everyone who attended!

Another welcome distraction from the dissertation awaits right next to the office: #BioMembraneDays25 are such a great gathering, spanning membrane and lipid #biophysics to physiology. The food is outstanding too 🤗. Thanks to organizers @ewerslab.bsky.social @dimovalab.bsky.social and Thomas Weikl!
