Congratulations, Dr. Jones!
Jun. 6, 2018—We celebrated our last defense of the summer! Christine Jones presented her thesis "Regulation of the key mitotic checkpoint protein Dma1 through post-translational modifications." Thanks to all of Christine's friends and family who joined us for this occasion! Christine has moved on to work as a Senior Associate Scientist at AxioMX (an Abcam company). Christine's excellent...
Chloe’s and Alaina’s paper available online!
Jun. 6, 2018—Chloe Snider and Alaina Willet are first authors on a paper accepted at Journal of Cell Biology and now available online. Click to read about "Phosphoinositide-mediated ring anchoring resists perpendicular forces to promote medial cytokinesis." This paper establishes the importance of proper plasma membrane lipid composition for cytokinesis in S. pombe. When plasma membrane lipid composition is perturbed, the cytokinetic ring...
