Projects and Research Interests
- Pattern formation in active systems
- Intracellular positioning mechanisms:
Spatio-temporal positioning of cargoes (e.g. plasmids, partition complexes, protein clusters, ... ) is crucial for many important processes in bacterial cells including cell division, plasmid and chromosome segregation. I am interested in the following questions: - How are cargoes positioned inside the cell?
- How are the forces generated to move the cargo?
- What is the role of the cell geometry?
