Post-doc at the Laboratory of Structural Enzymology and Biochemistry, Cytoskeleton and Motility Dynamics group

In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that lamellipodial and filopodial protrusions, located at the leading edge of a crawling cell, are generated by spatially controlled polymerization of actin filaments at the cell membrane, induced by two different nucleation machineries (WASP-Arp2/3 generates a branched network in the lamellipodium; formins generate long unbranched filaments in filopodia).
