Denisa Jamecna

Dr. Denisa Jamecna is a Research Fellow in the Chemical Biology of Membranes group at the University of Osnabrück's College of Biology. Her research focuses on understanding how cells regulate lipid homeostasis, particularly through lysosomal functions. She investigates lipid transport, metabolism, and signaling using advanced techniques like photoactivatable lipid analogs and fluorescence microscopy.

• Research Topics: Lysosomal lipid transport, sterol/sphingolipid metabolism, cellular lipid balance in health/disease.
• Methods: Functionalized lipid analogs, artificial membranes, protein purification, in vitro assays.
• Model Systems: Mammalian cell lines, liposomes, purified proteins.

Her work aims to uncover molecular mechanisms governing lipid distribution and their roles in cellular health, contributing to insights into metabolic and lysosomal disorders.
