October, 2023: Celebrating our ERC Starting Grant ‘CROSSTALK’ 🙂
The project deals with the interactions between microtubules and intermediate filaments – two cytoskeletal filaments with contrasting structural, mechanical, and dynamic properties. We postulate that their complementarity enables cells to combine two seemingly contradicting properties: mechanical stability on the one hand, and dynamic adaptability on the other. Opposites attract!
We will be looking for PhD candidates / postdocs soon. Stay tuned!
