Max Lönnfors

Max Lönnfors is a Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry and Cell Biology at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Åbo Akademi University. His research focuses on membrane biophysics, lipid metabolism, and protein-lipid interactions.

• Ph.D., Åbo Akademi University (2014)
• Doctoral Thesis: Studies on membrane properties of cholesterol and 3-beta modified sterol analogs

Key research areas include membrane structure analysis, sterol-lipid interactions, sphingolipid dynamics, and lipid transfer mechanisms. His work investigates how lipid composition affects membrane properties and cellular processes.

Recent publications highlight trends in phospholipid exchange cycles, glycolipid transfer proteins, and sterol affinity for different membrane systems. Notable collaborations include studies with international researchers on lipid metabolic pathways.
