Ebba Biotech welcomes you to tune in to our webinar featuring Dr. Michael Morten from Imperial College London. During his talk titled "Characterisation of pathological protein aggregates at single-molecule resolution", Dr. Michael Morten will present his research using Amytracker.
Dr. Michael Morten is a postdoctoral research associate in Yu Ye’s group at the Department of Brain Sciences, Imperial College London. His research focuses on developing imaging techniques to study protein aggregates using single-molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM). These methods are applied to image aggregates in a range of environments, including aggregates immobilised on coverslips, internalised in live and fixed cells, and present in situ within tissue samples. By analysing aggregate morphology across these systems, his work reveals new insights into the cellular mechanisms that govern aggregate spreading and clearance, and highlights the diversity of aggregate species in proteinopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other dementias.
