Dr Matthew Savoian

Biography

Dr. Matthew Savoian is currently working as a Director - Manawatu Microscopy and Imaging Centre  in the Department of  Fundamental Sciences, Massey univesity , Newzealand. His research interests includes microtubule cytoskeleton of animal cells. This cellular scaffold dictates cell  organisation, genome stability and motility. These feats are accomplished through the formation of elaborate microtubule-based structures ranging from the polarised axons of neurons to the spindles of dividing cells and the flagella of sperm. How microtubules- which are found in most animal cells-  selectively assemble into such intricate cellular machines remains a fundamental question in biology. He is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. Matthew Savoian is the member of many international affiliations. He has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities. He has authored of many research articles/books related to microtubule cytoskeleton of animal cells. This cellular scaffold dictates cell  organisation, genome stability and motility.
