Bacterial cell biology and biochemistry | Professor at the University of Marburg, Germany
One of the most exciting discoveries from our lab so far is now online as a preprint!
Read a story on how the ParMR and Min systems started to collaborate to create the CorMR cytoskeleton, which now controls cell shape in multicellular cyanobacteria:
