SFB1638 Membrane Remodelling
The SFB1638 is a research consortium that is interested in understanding the dynamics of cellular membranes
and how membrane remodeling events are coupled to generate physiological processes.
This preprint review club brings together early career researchers of the SFB1638 to discuss the latest
research in the field and develop their ability to constructively review research data.
