Then, during my postdoc, I studied centrioles – organelles that organise microtubules and are important in many cell functions, including cell division, motility, and signalling. Tell us about your research.ĭuring my PhD, I worked on nuclear pore complexes that allow small molecules and ions to freely pass in and out of the nucleus. Here, he shares a little bit about his research, why centrioles are so beautiful, and why EMBL’s strength in imaging and multidisciplinary culture are the right environment for his scientific endeavours.

Niccolò Banterle is the newest group leader to join EMBL’s Cell Biology and Biophysics unit. New group leader deciphers the challenging, yet ‘beautiful’ structure of centrioles at different scales to understand their functions
