Welcome to the Bechstedt Lab

We study how Microtubules and Microtubule-Associated Proteins control cellular processes like mitosis, and how these molecules are involved in diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration

Projects

We are using the hottest techniques to study how the microtubule skeleton is regulated

In vitro Microscopy

We study isolated microtubules and MAPs to directly observe their interaction.

Cell Assays

We manipulate cells to understand what the cellular function of MAPs on microtubules is and how MAPs are involved in diseases.

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

We look at MAPs and microtubules with EM to learn about the structure of MAPs.
