Research Interests
The cytoskeleton of the cell is involved in organising and maintaining the cell's architecture. More than this, however, the dynamic properties of cytoskeletal elements are crucially involved in many cellular processes such as movement, signalling, differentiation and cell division. We are using cryo-electron microscopy and image processing techniques to examine the specific mechanisms by which a variety of proteins regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and to understand general mechanisms for the role of the cytoskeleton in cell function.
