How Do +TIPs Control Microtubule Dynamics Through Phase Separation?

Posted by , on 31 January 2025

What do you believe drives the precise regulation of microtubule dynamics in eukaryotic cells, allowing them to efficiently divide, move, and communicate? Well, at the heart of this process lies a diverse group of proteins known as microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs), which assemble into highly regulated networks at the growing ends of microtubules. These

Introducing SciCommConnect three-minute talk winner Oliver Anderson

Posted by , on 7 August 2024

In June, the Node, preLights and FocalPlane hosted SciCommConnect, a science communication event focussed on learning new scicomm skills and networking with like-minded researchers. As part of the day, we hosted a three-minute research talk competition, and we were treated to 12 fantastic talks on a range of topics. We had two competition winners, Oliver

Postdoc position in imaging-based biochemistry and single molecule biophysics

Posted by , on 2 September 2022

Wellcome-funded postdoc position in the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology at University of Warwick. Join us to use imaging-based approaches to understand how molecular motors organise microtubules. We are looking for a biochemist/biophysicist interested in single molecule imaging using TIRF and single molecule force measurements using optical trapping, or a cell biologist with expertise in
