Markel has worked in the field of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) during his PhD in Pål Stenmark's team, using X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM to solve the structure of several proteins related to the botulinum neurotoxins. His main cryo-EM project consisted in structural work on the 300 kDa complex of the novel BoNT serotype X and its partner protein NTNH. He has been trained as an internal user

I work as a researcher at the Faculty of Medicine studying protein-protein complexes arising at the host-pathogen interface, with the aim of understanding how pathogens evade the human immune defence. The main methods we are using are quantitative and structural mass spectrometry (cross-linking and hydrogen-deuterium exchange) in combination with single-particle cryo-EM. Since its start in 2018, I
