Dr. Arthur Laganowsky

Biography

Arthur Laganowsky is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University. His research focuses on understanding the molecular basis of protein-lipid interactions, which are critical for the function of membrane proteins. The lab's long-term goal is to elucidate how these interactions are modulated by lipids and how they affect the structure and function of membrane proteins. The research addresses key gaps in knowledge about the role of lipids in physiological processes and involves investigations into various types of membrane proteins, including ion channels and receptors. Laganowsky holds a B.S. and M.S. in Biological Sciences from California State University, Chico, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles. He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Physical Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Oxford. He was awarded the NIH New Innovator Award in 2016.
