Judith Peters

Judith Peters is a Professor at Univ Grenoble Alpes (UGA) and a senior researcher at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL). She serves as a member of the subcommittee of College 8 at ILL, where she applies neutron scattering techniques to study biological systems.

Her research focuses on:

• Molecular dynamics and structure-function relationships in biological systems under extreme conditions (temperature, pressure, pH)
• Adaptation mechanisms relevant to the origins of life
• Crowding/confinement effects in whole-cell and lipoprotein studies
• Cold denaturation of proteins and its implications for nutrient/drug preservation

She leads the international ANR STRUDEL project on lipoproteins with collaborators at Medical University of Graz, and participates in the EU iSenseDNA Pathfinder project. Collaborative networks include institutions in the UK, Japan, Austria, and France.
