Dr. Maximilian Ulbrich, University of Freiburg: Single-molecule imaging of membrane protein interactions in living cells

Speaker Series. Background information: the Ulbrich Lab is part of the BIOSS Centre for Biological Signalling Studies and the  Faculty of Medicine at the University of Freiburg, and a member of the Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine. Research in the Ulbrich Lab lab focusses on interactions of membrane proteins in living cells, trying to understand how complexes made of many different proteins assemble and how they behave during signalling processes. To this purpose, single fluorescent molecules are imaged using state-of-the art microscopy equipment and develop novel tools for single molecule imaging. Current projects include the dynamic behaviour of G protein-coupled receptors, the assembly of glutamate receptors with their auxiliary subunits, and super-resolution imaging.

Veranstaltungsdaten

After the lecture and the public discussion, there will be the opportunity for MiNu's doctoral researchers to meet with Dr. Ulbrich. He will also be available for meetings with other researchers on Monday afternoon, 2 September. Please contact  Antje Becker if you wish to speak with our guest.
