Lab Members
Chloé Martens, PhD
Principal Investigator
Chloé Martens is an FRS-FNRS Group Leader at the University of Brussels, where she leads a research group within the Biochemistry and Structural Biology unit.
​
Chloe Martens obtained a Master's in Chemistry from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 2011. Early on, she became interested in structural biology and biophysics and began to study transporter dynamics. Her thesis was a collaborative project between ULB and Vanderbilt University, during which she used advanced spectroscopic methods to study the molecular mechanisms underlying multidrug efflux.
In 2016, Chloe moved to King’s College London (KCL, UK). During her postdoctoral training, she developed methodologies to study membrane proteins using different mass-spectrometry-based tools.
In 2021, she obtained a permanent Research Associate (“Chercheur Qualifié”) position from the FNRS.
​
In recognition of the quality and impact of her research, she has been awarded the Solvay Prize and the Hector Lepouse Prize
Kyo Coppieters
Postdoctoral Researcher
Kyo Coppieters graduated with a Master in Chemistry from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 2020. He obtained a FRIA fellowship the same year to study the molecular mechanisms of multidrug efflux pumps from Gram-positive bacteria using H/D exchange mass spectrometry.
