Matthew Davies
My name is Matthew Davies and I am a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Sebastian Rumpf at the University of Muenster, Germany, however I am originally from Liverpool, UK. I utilise Drosophila developmental neurite pruning as a model to study how regular microtubule orientation is established in neuronal dendrites, particularly focussing on the role of actin-microtubule crosslinker and spectraplakin Shot. As a result, of course, I am interested in neuronal development broadly, the cytoskeleton, and its regulation. Additionally, I also maintain a keen interest in cellular trafficking and the endocytic pathway following my Master’s work in that area.

December in preprints – the CellBio edition
A group of preLighters, with expertise in different areas of cell biology, have worked together to create this preprint reading lists for researchers with an interest in cell biology. This month, categories include: 1) cell cycle and division 2) cell migration and cytoskeleton 3) cell organelles and organisation 4) cell signalling and mechanosensing 5) genetics/gene expression
