mitotic machinery of fungi. This work is funded by the BBSRC and will be 
performed as part of the research team led by Dr Carolyn Moores.

microtubule-based machinery using cryo-electron microscopy and image 
reconstruction. This work presents unique opportunities to gain insight 
into the mechanochemistry of essential mitotic motors in fungi, thereby 
providing a platform for future investigations of novel fungicides, in 
collaboration with Prof. Gero Steinberg (Exeter University). The 
appointee will be a member of a team working on regulatory mechanisms of 
cytoskeleton dynamics (http://people.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/~ubcg62d/

Microscopy group.
