Jens Lüders – Group Leader

Jens obtained his PhD in Biology from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and did his postdoctoral work with Tim Stearns at Stanford University, USA. During this time he investigated how cells spatially control the formation of new microtubules and identified NEDD1/GCP-WD as the long-sought-after targeting factor for the microtubule nucleator γTuRC. He showed that NEDD1/GCP-WD, through its targeting function, is required for microtubule nucleation at the centrosome and within the mitotic spindle. Since 2008 Jens is heading the Microtubule Organization Group at the IRB Barcelona in Spain.
