Massimo Kube
About
Massimo joined the LBEM in February 2024 after doing his PhD in Prof. Hendrik Dietz’s lab in Munich. During his PhD, he worked on the three-dimensional reconstruction of DNA Origami structures. His main project focussed on the development of a DNA Origami force spectrometer that allows for the reconstruction of force-sensitive proteins while a force is applied at the same time.
Continuing his journey of innovation, Massimo has now embarked on a new project at the LBEM. He is currently developing a 4D STEM workflow for biological samples under cryo-EM conditions, a project that promises to push the boundaries imposed by classical CTEM in this field.
Current Project
Development of a 4D STEM pipeline for Cryo-EM.
