Evolution Vs Evolutionary Biology Jobs in Usa

Join the Benning Lab and explore the dynamic world of bioenergetic membranes

Our Mission: The Benning Lab investigates how evolutionary pressure shaped bioenergetic membranes to enable bacteria to thrive in diverse environments. Central to our focus is understanding the molecular mechanisms of how these membranes form distinct shapes. We do this by reconstituting proteins in a near-native membrane environment and characterizing them using structural and biophysical analyses. We also directly image bioenergetic membranes in diverse bacteria to uncover their assembly dynamics. By deciphering this evolutionary ancient system, we aim to unravel new biologies, and apply principles derived from natural membranes to build useful nano-factories for medicine, biotechnology, and bioremediation.
