Decoding the Directionality of Microtubule-based Transport using Structural Cell Biology

How are cargoes trafficked within cells with such speed and directional precision? Our research aims to address this question by using structural cell biology to uncover the molecular mechanisms of transport by microtubule-based motor proteins, with a particular focus on the formation and function of the primary cilium.
