25th iCeMS Seminar/Commemorating the Establishment of the Center for Meso-Bio Single-Molecule Imaging (CeMI) 6: Prof. Dr. Thomas Schmidt

CeMI：Center for Meso-Bio Single-Molecule Imaging

Prof. Schmidt and his group develop and apply in vivo single-molecule microscopy to follow in real-time the dynamic reorganization of the nano/meso-systems in the plasma membrane, upon cellular stimulation. They concentrate on the first few steps of signal transduction pathways, the recognition of a ligand (e.g. fluorescent labeled cAMP and LPS) by a receptor fused to GFP (cAMP receptor, adenosine receptor, TOLL-like receptor, interferon receptor) in vivo, in the context of chemotaxis of dictyostelium discoidium.
In this seminar, Prof. Schmidt will cover the critical regulation mechanisms for controlling these meso-architecture-based functions.
