Dr Alexander Neuhaus
Postdoctoral Researcher

Overview
I am currently using Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) to investigate the structure of type IV pili and the corresponding machinery in the membrane of bacterial cells.
My background is in biochemistry and cryo-EM, where I have worked on a number of different projects including:
- Structural studies of pore forming toxins using cryo-EM
- Development of improved specimen preparation for electron cryo-microscopy
- Investigation of protein import into peroxisomes and interactions between peroxisomes and microtubules
