Abstract
Minhaj Sirajuddin talks to Francesca Lake, Head of Open Access Publishing. Minhaj Sirajuddin is currently an Assistant Investigator at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (InStem), Bangalore, India. His lab works on understanding biological motility mediated by cytoskeleton elements using biophysics and cell biology. Previously his tenures were at UCSF (CA, USA) for his postdoctoral work and the Max Planck Institute (Dortmund, Germany) for his PhD. Minhaj is a recipient of Wellcome Trust – DBT India Alliance Intermediate Fellowship and the EMBO Young Investigator Award. He was also a finalist in the inaugural Future Science Early Career Research Award.
Highlights
Can you tell us a little about your career path to-date? My first research experience was in the Molecular Biophysics Unit, IISc Bangalore (India) with Raghavan Varadarajan
That was followed by doctoral studies in structural biology with Alfred Wittinghofer at Max Planck Institute for molecular physiology
What are you working on at the moment? Currently, our lab is interested in understanding the mechanism of molecular machines that mediate biological motility, which includes muscle contraction, motility of cells and microscopic materials inside cells
