Monday October 26, Karin SCHUMACHER will give a seminar at 11 am in the salle des thèses. Karin is Professor at the centre for organismal study (COS) in Heidelberg, Germany. She is working on The V-ATPase - a nano-engine for transport and traffic (see below a selection of his papers on this topic). She also recently developed and published sensitive biosensor for Ca2+ and pH.
