JCB highlights our 2017 paper in special collection on cell division
Jun. 6, 2018—Our 2017 paper "Phosphoinositide-mediated ring anchoring resists perpendicular forces to promote medial cytokinesis" was included in a cell division collection curated by JCB Board Member Rebecca Heald (Berkeley). The special collection includes primary research and reviews on mitosis and meiosis from many labs including papers from fellow Gould lab alumnus Mohan Balasubramanian! To learn more about the collection and read...
Gould Lab celebrates the total eclipse

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...
Summer student Luul presents her work at the VSSA Symposium
Jun. 6, 2018—Luul Aden has spent the last 8 weeks working in the Gould lab and today she presented her work at the VSSA 15th Annual Student Research Symposium. After this summer, Luul will start her junior year at Vanderbilt as a Molecular Biology major. In the future, Luul hopes to go to medical school and maybe even continue doing...
Hannah presents her work at the VSSA Annual Symposium
Jun. 6, 2018—This summer, undergraduate student HannahSofia Brown worked under the mentorship of graduate students Alaina Willet and Chloe Snider. She also participated in programming for the Vanderbilt Summer Science Academy (VSSA; https://medschool.vanderbilt.edu/vssa/). Hannah spent the summer investigating the contribution of phospholipids to cytokinesis. She presented her poster entitled "Opy1 is associated with the phosphoinositide-4-kinase Stt4 complex important or...
