Cell scientist to watch – Vaishnavi Ananthanarayanan
Vaishnavi Ananthanarayanan is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering and the Indian Institute of Science. She also recently became an EMBO Young Investigator and Wellcome Trust/DBT – India Alliance Intermediate Fellow. Her research is focused on understanding dynein activation in living cells and the roles of microtubules in mitochondrial dynamics during neurodegeneration. She talks about her research, the importance of good mentors and much more.
Anna Akhmanova and Michel O. Steinmetz provide an overview of the current knowledge on the structure, interactions and functions of cellular factors that specifically interact with microtubule minus ends, and that regulate their dynamics and organization.
