Oscar Ces is a researcher at Imperial College London with expertise in artificial cells, biophysics, lipids, X-rays, and microfluidics. His work focuses on developing artificial cell systems using vesicles as chemical microreactors, exploring lipid membrane interactions, and studying structural transformations in lipid phases. He investigates the mechanical properties of lipid bilayers, the role of membrane asymmetry, and the use of microfluidics for constructing compartmentalized model membranes. His research also includes pressure-jump X-ray studies of liquid crystal transitions in lipids and the engineering of biomimetic micro- and nanocontainers. Additionally, he explores the integration of living cells into artificial cell systems and the application of hydrogels as functional components.
