Peter Jönsson

Research projects

Peter Jönsson is Senior Lecturer and Docent at the Division of Physical Chemistry, Lund University, since 2015, with a research focus in biomolecular interactions at interfaces. His research spans several different areas such as chemistry, physics and biology, but can more specifically be divided into the following main topics

• Development of novel biophysical tools and methods to study and manipulate molecules on the surface of cells.
• Investigation of the organisation and function of key membrane proteins in the initiation of an adaptive immune response.
• Physical chemistry of peptide-lipid co-assembly: from lipid-rich to peptide-rich

A common factor in all these projects is the use of advanced fluorescence microscopy to study the mobility and distribution of molecules down to the single molecule level.
