Excited about the cytoskeleton and biophysics| Studying mechanics of phagocytosis | Current PhD in Vorselen lab @ WUR | Former master's in Dumont lab @ UCSF
Together with Zack, my daily supervisor, we investigated the mechanical properties of bridging fibers during anaphase. Spending the greater part of 2024 in SF, the patience to learn microneedle manipulations paid off and I had lots of fun doing pulls on the anaphase spindle!
