Dr. Navarro leads a research group in structural cell biology and cryo-electron microscopy at the University of Lausanne. Her work focuses on elucidating the molecular architecture of cellular components in situ, capturing biomolecular machinery directly within its native cellular environment. By combining cryo-electron tomography with advanced computational image processing, her team resolves three-dimensional structures of macromolecular complexes at near-atomic resolution, providing fundamental insights into processes such as cell division and cell envelope organization. Through this integrative structural approach, her research contributes to a deeper mechanistic understanding of how cellular systems are organised and regulated at the molecular level.
