Please join us Tuesday, January 31, in-person, 3:30 pm, BPB 131 for an MCB Faculty Seminar hosted by Dr. Jelena Erceg
Our speaker will be Mohammed Kaplan, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Scholar, California Institute of Technology
“In situ structural biology using cryo-electron tomography”
Summary: In his talk, Kaplan will first present how he used cryo-ET to investigate the assembly and disassembly pathways of the bacterial flagellar motor in cellular milieu at macromolecular resolution. In the second part, Kaplan will discuss how he used cryo-ET to image the lifecycle of the microbial predator Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.
Bio: Kaplan received his PhD in ssNMR/DNP at Utrecht University and is currently a postdoc in the Jensen lab where he is using cryo-ET to study the assembly, disassembly and evolution of biomolecular complexes.
