My research career started with the high–pressure phase behavior of the DPPC bilayer, and I have clarified the effects of hydrocarbon chain–length, asymmetry, and mode of linkage between the glycerol backbone and each of the two hydrocarbon chains. The study has now been extended to cover the phase behavior of acidic phospholipids, non–natural lipids, and cationic double–chain surfactants. Through my research to date, I would like to emphasize that high pressure is the torch for exploring macroscopic lipid–bilayer research.
