Thomas Günther-Pomorski

Thomas Günther-Pomorski serves as Full Professor at Ruhr-University Bochum and holds a part-time position at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (Section for Transport Biology). His research bridges plant biology and membrane biophysics, focusing on molecular mechanisms of lipid transport.

His primary research interests include:

• Biophysical characterization of membrane proteins
• Function and dynamics of P4 ATPases in vesicular transport
• Molecular analysis of P-type ATPases
• ABC protein roles in sterol transport
• Plant plasma membrane H⁺-ATPase mechanisms

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate advanced methodologies including single-vesicle analysis, fluorescence-based flippase assays, and giant unilamellar vesicle reconstitution. Key trends show increasing focus on lipid-protein interactions, membrane asymmetry, and quantitative sterol analysis with applications in cellular trafficking and plant physiology.

Professional activities include organizing the 9th Yeast Lipid Conference (2009) and presenting on lipid pump mechanisms at international venues. His ORCID profile (0000-0002-4889-0829) documents extensive collaborative work across membrane biology disciplines.
