Alumni 50 South Drive, Bethesda, MD, 20814, US Laboratory of Structural Cell Biology The laboratory of Structural Cell Biology aims to understand the molecular mechanisms governing specialized cell shapes, such as those of neurons, activated immune cells or platelets and certain cancer cells. We visualize the key factors determining different cell morphologies using in situ cellular cryo-electron tomography in combination with interdisciplinary techniques such as single-particle cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, in vitro reconstitution and light microscopy. The lab was initiated at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried and relocated to the NIH (NIAMS/NHLBI) in 2020. Laboratory of Structural Cell Biology staff
