Welcome to Kalina Hristova Research Group

If you want to know more about us:Media Highligths About Our Group.

The main focus of the research in Kalina Hristova laboratory is the structure and assembly of biological membranes. We study the thermodynamic and structural principles that underlie membrane protein folding and signal transduction across biological membranes.

We have been developing new tools to study (1) the energetics of biomolecular interactions in biological membranes, and (2) the structure of the thermally disordered fluid membranes.

The application of these methods to membrane proteins involved in signal transduction is yielding new information pertaining to the physical principles behind complex biological processes, and to the mechanisms of pathogenesis in humans.
