Our group collaborates closely with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory through a joint effort with Dmytro Soloviov, focusing on structural studies of lipid membranes under external electric stimulation. Using state-of-the-art small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) at PETRA III, this collaboration provides high-resolution structural insight into large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) and multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) driven out of equilibrium by applied electric fields. These experiments allow us to directly resolve field-induced membrane deformations, changes in lamellar spacing, and collective structural responses across length scales relevant to cellular membranes. The EMBL–PETRA III partnership plays a central role in connecting electromechanical function with nanoscale structure, strengthening our broader international program aimed at understanding adaptive, memory-like behavior in biological membranes under physiologically relevant driving conditions.
