Horia I. Petrache studies the structure and physical behavior of lipid membranes, the thin fatty layers that form the boundaries of cells. Using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and computer simulations, the research examines how molecules like dopamine, cholesterol, ATP, and industrial perfluoroalkyl substances interact with and reshape these membranes. Related projects include modeling how cell clusters engulf particles and imaging nerve tissue.
