Aleksandr Kirillov - PhD Student

Aleksandr is measuring how much time mitochondrial precursor proteins spend in the cytosol before they are imported. He is interested to find out how this timing is determined and what happens with precursors that hang around in the cytosol for a long time. Aleks uses novel and established ways to detect transient protein-protein interactions to find the factors that regulate cytosolic fate of mitochondrial precursor proteins.

Gülsah Göktas - PhD Student

Gülsah is developing a reporter to measure the number of ribosomes in the proximity of mitochondrial membrane in living cells. Does this number change in different growth conditions, or cells keep it stable? What happens if the number of ribosomes on the outer membrane is perturbed? What are the translation quality control factors next to the outer membrane? These are some of the interesting questions she tries to answer using different reporters.

Johanna Arnold - Student-assistant ("HiWi")

Johanna is doing her Master's degree in Molecular Cell Biology and works in our lab to figure out how are proteins inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane. She uses fluorescence microscopy and western blots to track the fate of different respiratory chain components in vivo.
