About
Member of the American Biophysical Society
Received his PhD in 1986 at the University of Grenoble (France). In 1988, he joined the CIML as
CNRS research scientist. From 1996 to 1998, he was appointed as visiting assistant professor at the John Hopkins
University. Since 2003, he heads a new team at the CIML, devoted to understanding the spatiotemporal organization of
molecular complexes in live cells based on biophotonic approaches.
Didier MARGUET has been contributing in the recent years to the development of new biophysical approaches and
tools to study cell membrane organization and dynamics. These studies revealed an organizational hierarchy at
different spatial scales for lipid nanodomains in intact cell membranes, and led to a new model in which
nanodomains work as “selective glue” rather than a “special organelle” by promoting temporary molecular
confinement.
