Hello! A new intro for a new instance.
I lead a research group trying to figure out axonal transport and neurodegeneration. A big emphasis on the microtubules and their motors, but really the transport of anything that doesn't have a membrane around it. For this we use a lot of single molecule methods and live cell imaging. I also post about research culture.

To move or not to move: A novel in vitro assay successfully recreates intracellular bidirectional cargo transport.
First #preLight from Divya Pathak who covers a #preprint from the Diez and Santen labs, led by Ashwin D'Souza. Includes comments from the preprint authors 👀

I've had a week away so things have been a little quiet, but I'm returning with a protein based cartoon for you.
