Maxim Molodtsov obtained an MSc degree from the Department of Physics at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. He moved to the laboratory of Richard McIntosh at the University of Colorado Boulder in the United States, where he measured forces generated from disassembling microtubules, showing that these forces are sufficient to drive chromosome movements during mitosis. In 2012, he won a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship and moved to the Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna, Austria. His research led to the discovery of highly conserved mechanisms of microtubule rearrangements and made important contributions to the development of novel imaging tools at single-molecule cellular levels. Currently, he is an Associate Professor at UCL's Department of Physics and Astronomy and a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute, where his group employs a combination of force-spectroscopy, high-end microscopy, and biochemical techniques in cellular molecular biology to unravel how cells reorganize the cytoskeleton and DNA during the 3D cell cycle.
