"How to make microtubules and build the cytoskeleton" Sabine Petry, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Molecular Biology Princeton University Abstract: How does a cell construct its microtubule cytoskeleton? According to Feynman’s principle “what I cannot create, I do not understand”, my lab pursues this question by building the chromosome segregation machinery from scratch. I will first tell […]
