Meet the lab members.
Julie Welburn
| Julie did her PhD in Structural Biology of the regulation of cell cycle complexes in the LMB, University of Oxford with Prof Jane Endicott and Prof Martin Noble. She spent one year in Eva Nogales's laboratory at UC Berkeley to further study mitotic protein complexes by electron microscopy. She joined the Cheeseman lab, at the Whitehead Institute and MIT, Boston, in 2008 to pursue cell biology and biochemical studies on mitosis. Julie received a CRUK research career development and moved in April 2012 to the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, Edinburgh to start the lab and study the molecular basis for motors in cell division. Since August 2018, she is Wellcome Senior Fellow. In 2019, she was also selected as an EMBO Young investigator. She has also recently received the Patrick Neill Royal Society of Edinburgh medal for her work. Her lab uncovers mechanisms of microtubule-based molecular transport and how cargos, motors and tracks cooperate to build cellular structures and ensure correct cell function. | Image

Jeraldine Weber
MRC Precision medicine studentJeraldine is a Biochemistry graduate from the University of Bath. She spent one year at the ESRF, France while an undergraduate and worked on the PROTAC degradation system in her final year project. Jeraldine is half-french half-thai. Jeraldine is working on tubulin isotypes in collaboration with Prof Alison Hulme. | Image
