My name is Eugene Katrukha and currently I'm working as a scientist in groups of Anna Akhmanova and Lukas Kapitein, at Cell Biology Department of Utrecht University.
In general I'm interested in how biological systems conjugate processes on multiple time and space scales to perform their function. I'm trying to study it using biophysical methods: microscopy, image analysis and modelling.
My current focus is cell's microtubule network, it has all mentioned above multiscale properties. I'm curious how it is organized on mechanical and dynamics levels to provide backbone and transport functions to cell. And how this information can be used to develop new anticancer therapies.
Check out Software section or my ImageJ profile to find different tools I've developed during research. I'm in favour of open source community approach and trying to share code even ahead of publication.
Here is my linkedin handle. CV is available on request. Feel free to contact me about any kind of projects.
I was born and raised in Ukraine, so essentially I participate in its current defence support. If you feel like joining, contact me or make a donation.
The domain name katpyxa is a transliteration of my last name in Cyrillic Катруха using Latin alphabet.
It looked like an awesome decision to younger me in 2003, but now it's too late to change things.
