TOR signaling and control of cell growth Fig. 1: Architecture of human mTOR complex 1 Introduction Cell growth is highly regulated. Cells respond to nutrients or other appropriate growth stimuli by up-regulating…


How cells defend their cytosol against bacteria: LPS ubiquitylation and other tricks

How cells defend their cytosol against bacteria: LPS ubiquitylation and other tricks Intracellular pathogens colonize specific subcellular niches, reflecting the pathogen's need for host factors and nutrients as well as its…


Synopsis

Synopsis Antibiotic resistance has re-emerged as a critical problem of contemporary medicine. I will discuss the biological processes contributing to the spread of antibiotic resistance. In this talk, I will ask how…


Muscle aging

Muscle aging Rapid advances in treating life-threatening, age-related diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, have extended human lifespan in many developed countries. However, greater longevity has meant more…


Projects

We study the cellular organization and regulation of metabolism by large macromolecular assemblies as well as giant microbial biosynthetic assembly lines. Our research builds on hybrid use of state-of-the-art cryo electron…
