地点：兰州大学逸夫生物楼301

报告题目：Amplifyingmicrotubulesforplantcelldivisionandexpansion

柳波教授简介：

1985年获北京大学细胞生物及遗传学专业学士学位；1988年获北京大学细胞生物学硕士学位；1995年获美国乔治亚大学植物学博士学位。1995-1998年分别于新泽西医科和牙科大学,RobertWoodJohnsonMedicalSchool,Piscataway,NJ进行博士后研究。1998年起担任加州大学戴维斯分校植物生物学助理教授、副教授和教授。柳波教授近年来主要从事植物和真菌细胞分裂相关蛋白的作用机理及细胞骨架结合蛋白在细胞信号转导中的作用等方面的研究，

以拟南芥、水稻、棉花为植物模式，以曲霉菌为真菌模式，研究植物和真菌中细胞分裂和生长过程中微管和微丝的动态，驱动蛋白（kinesin）在有丝分裂和胞质分裂过程中的作用,以及细胞骨架调节的丝状真菌菌丝生长分子机制。先后在《PlantCell》、《JanouralofCellBiology》、《PlantPhysiology》、《MolecularPlant》、《CurrentBiology》、《MolecularMicrobiology》、等国际著名期刊上发表多篇论文，在国际同行中具有较大影响力。
