About Marc Pilon

 RESEARCH AREA

Elucidating the function of the AdipoRs
Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipocytes and that may have insulin-sensitizing activities. Its proposed receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, have seven transmembrane domain with a topology inverse that of GPCRs; we are trying to understand the cellular function of these AdipoRs. To do this, we are studying mutant of these receptors in the small nematode C. elegans, then verifying our results in mammalian models. Our work sshows that the AdipoRs are actually important for the regulation of membrane fluidity in C. elegans and human cells, and that this essential function is independent of adiponectin.

About the unit

The Department conducts high-quality research and education in the areas of chemical sciences and molecular life sciences.

Our research groups are active in the following areas:

  • analytical chemistry
  • atmospheric science
  • biochemistry
  • inorganic chemistry
  • medicinal chemistry
  • organic chemistry
  • physical chemistry
  • cell biology
  • genetics
  • genomics
  • microbiology
  • molecular biology
  • structural biology.

Our researchers have many interdisciplinary collaborations, both nationally and internationally, and contribute strongly to the University of Gothenburg‘s top ranking in Life Science according to ShanghaiRanking 2020.

The Department is responsible for undergraduate programmes in chemistry, organic and medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, genomics and systems biology as well as the bachelor’s programme in pharmacy (dispensing pharmacists). The many elective courses in our education allow our students to combine different teaching subjects to create a unique profile in Life Science.

The Department is located in the Chemistry Building at Campus Johanneberg and in Lundbergs Laboratory at Campus Medical Hill.
