TÜBİTAK ARDEB 1001 Grant for Dr. Göker Arpağ

Prof. Dr. Assist. Prof. Dr. Göker Arpağ’s project titled “Investigation of the Mechanisms of Kinesin-Based Cargo Transport in Dynamic Microtubule Networks Using Langevin Dynamics” was entitled to be supported within the scope of TÜBİTAK 1001.

The proposed project aims to uncover the mechanisms coordinating the dynamic remodeling of the microtubule network and kinesin-based cargo transport. The objectives of the project are: 1. To determine how microtubule dynamics affect kinesin mobility at the single molecule level. 2. To understand how cargo and network properties affect transport efficiency. 3. To determine how asymmetric microtubule networking is established and how directional cargo transport is facilitated in polarized cells.

We congratulate our teacher Göker and the project team and wish them success.
