Dr. Malina Iwanski is a Researcher at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science, affiliated with the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Biophysics. She completed her education at McGill University (B.Sc. Hons. in Physical Biology, 2013-2017; M.Eng. in Bioengineering, 2017-2019) and earned her PhD in Biophysics from Utrecht University in 2024 under Prof. Lukas Kapitein.
Her research focuses on microtubule dynamics and cytoskeletal organization, with specialized interests in:
- Mechanisms of microtubule stability and orientation
- Advanced imaging techniques for 3D cytoskeleton mapping
- Kinesin motor protein functions
- Centrosomal and pericentriolar assembly mechanisms
Recent publications demonstrate her work in developing novel microscopy methods (e.g., Lattice Light-Sheet Motor-PAINT) and investigating regulatory mechanisms in cell division. Her research consistently integrates biophysical approaches with cell biological questions, particularly regarding microtubule behavior in stem cells and interphase cellular organization.
