The Schuhmacher Group, led by Milena Maria Schuhmacher, focuses on membrane biology with a chemical biology approach to investigate the biological role of lipid diversity and their impact on signaling processes. They study the role of individual lipid species in signaling specification and location-specific organelle-specific lipid signaling, particularly phosphatidic acid. The group aims to develop tools and assays to dissect species and organelle specificity in lipid signaling.
