Claire Elisabeth Buchanan

Claire Elisabeth Buchanan is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Biofisika Institute (CSIC, EHU), located at the Science Park of the University of the Basque Country in Leioa, Spain. She conducts research in two specialized laboratories: the Biocolloids and Neutron Scattering Laboratory and the Cell Membrane Organisation and Dynamics Laboratory, indicating a strong interdisciplinary focus at the interface of physics and biology.

Her research interests center on the physical principles governing cell membrane organization and dynamics, with a particular emphasis on biocolloidal systems and the application of neutron scattering techniques to probe structural and dynamic properties at the molecular level. These areas sit at the intersection of biophysics, soft matter, and structural biology, where advanced experimental methods are used to understand complex biological interfaces.

The recent body of work, though not explicitly listed, likely involves experimental studies using neutron scattering to analyze membrane models, lipid-protein interactions, and self-assembly processes in biological colloids. Such research contributes to foundational knowledge in cellular biophysics and has potential implications for drug delivery, biomaterials, and synthetic biology.
