Background
Flagella are organelles that facilitate locomotion of single cells, such as bacteria, archaea, algae, parasites, and human sperm. These cells depend on motility to find nutrients, escape threats, and mate. Flagella structure and mechanism vary among domains (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya), but all are complex molecular machines that power cell motility.
Current Projects
We use methods in biochemistry and structural biology (especially cryo-EM) to decipher the structure of flagella, and thereby their beating mechanisms. We are currently focusing on flagella from haloarchaea (salt-loving extremophiles) and eukaryotic parasites, which rely on their flagella to survive.
