Chloé Martens

Chloé Martens (Scientific Advisor) obtained a master in Chemistry from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 2011. She completed her Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr Cédric Govaerts (ULB) in 2015, in the Structure and Function of Biological Membranes (SFMB) laboratory. Her thesis was a collaborative project between the ULB and the research group of Prof. Mchaourab (Vanderbilt University, USA) during which she used advanced spectroscopic methods to study the molecular mechanisms underlying multidrug efflux.

In 2016, Chloé joined the research group of Dr. Argyris Politis at King’s College London (KCL) to learn hybrid mass spectrometry techniques applied to membrane proteins. During her postdoctoral training, she developed new methodologies to study membrane proteins in near-native environments using different mass-spectrometry based tools.

In 2021, she obtained a permanent researcher position “Chercheur Qualifié” from the FNRS and is currently working in the Chemistry department at ULB.  She was awarded the Solvay Prize and the Hector Lepouse prize in recognition for the quality of her work.
