I undertook my doctoral studies as part of the Membrane Biophysics platform at Imperial College London. The projects involved were centered around the use of high pressure technology to study model membrane systems, including lateral organisation with cholesterol (or 'lipid rafts') and ceramides, swelling of bicontinuous cubic phases and the mechanism of pressure reversal of general anesthetics. In order to study these systems a range of techniques were exploited including high pressure microscopy and high pressure synchrotron small angle x-ray scattering.
