Interview with Motorhead @AnneStraube who is Guest Editor for a @J_Cell_Sci Special Issue "Cell Biology of Motors".
Interview with the Guest Editor – Anne Straube
ABSTRACT. Anne Straube studied Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Hamburg, Germany. For her PhD, she joined the lab of Gero Steinberg at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, and later at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, to work on the microtubule cytoskeleton in the fungus Ustilago maydis. With funding from the Emmy Noether programme, Anne moved to the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology in Edinburgh for a postdoc with Andreas Merdes, where she studied microtubule organisation in skeletal muscle cells. Anne started her own group in 2007 at the Marie Curie Research Institute in Oxted, Surrey, UK. After the institute closed in 2010, she co-founded the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology at the University of Warwick with Rob Cross and Andrew McAinsh, where she has been a Professor since 2020 and the Head of Biomedical Sciences at Warwick Medical School since 2022. Anne's lab studies cytoskeletal dynamics and molecular motors using a wide range of live-cell imaging, biochemical and biophysical approaches. She is a recipient of the Lister Institute Research Prize and two Wellcome Investigator Awards. Anne is the Guest Editor for the 2023 Cell Biology of Motors Special Issue in Journal of Cell Science.
