HiLIFE webinar / Viikki Monday Seminar: Jarno Mäkelä
Jarno Mäkelä is a group leader at the Institute of Biotechnology at University of Helsinki. His research group aims to understand how bacteria can grow across a large temperature range, up to 40°C. The main focus is how temperature affects the cytoplasmic state and what the consequences to cellular processes are using super-resolution microscopy and single molecule tracking. His past work has contributed to the mechanistic understanding how bacterial chromosomes are organized and how ploidy affects growth dynamics in different bacteria.
