Walther

Walther Mothes, Associate Professor

I am fascinated by our ability to visualize small viruses and to follow them in living cells and would like to understand better how individual cells defend themselves against viral infections. Email

Jing

Jing Jin, Post-doctoral Associate

After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, I joined Walther's lab to study retrovirus transmission. I am working with colorful viruses and cells in the lab, and to balance this I like everything else in black and white. My motto: "Haste makes waste!". Email

Pradeep

Pradeep Uchil, Post-doctoral Associate

I recieved my PhD from the IIS in Bangalore, India. Apart from my passion for cricket and movies I like to delve into uncovering the Unknowns (like raising kids). In my remaining time, I am interested in TRIM proteins. My motto: "Do it right, or else do it twice!"Email

Peng

Peng Zhong, Graduate Student

Coming a long way from Shanghai, I found a second home in Walther's lab. My current work is to perform high-throughput screening to study HIV cell-cell transmission -- expect the unexpected hits in order to dig into HIV beautiful strategies to spread. Email

Xaver

Xaver Sewald, Post-doctoral Associate

Coming from the proud Nation of Bavaria, I am going through complete humiliation trying to adapt to American culture. Give me at least two more years. Email

Joining Walther's lab has been an exhilarating experience so far. Coming from California, I'm not used to all the snow, but I am excited to be back on the East Coast and looking forward to learning and doing great things!

Luis

Luis Agosto, Post-doctoral Associate

I am joining the Mothes lab coming from UPenn with a background in HIV and primary T cells. My task in the lab is it to bring balance to the force. Email

James

James Munro, Post-doctoral Associate

I have a Ph.D. in biophysics from Cornell and my background is in single molecule FRET. Now I am trying to educate the Mothes lab in math and physics. Wish me luck! Email

Fei

Fei Li, Graduate Student

I am the first Cell Bio student in the Mothes lab and at the moment I am just killing pet projects that have been in the lab for far too long. Sorry Walther! Email

Angelika

Angelika Hinz

I come from the old University of Leipzig, founded in 1409, to work with the lab before I plan to go onto graduate school. I havn't given up all my European habits yet such as singing, but with time I guess I will increasingly sing the song of ubiquitin chains.
