Papers online at MBoC
Jul. 13, 2018—Two papers are now online. Both projects were collaborations between multiple Gould lab members and we are excited that these results are now available. Post-doc Alaina Willet, grad student Chloe Snider, and undergraduate student Hannah Brown collaborated to determine if any additional lipid species are important for cell division in S. pombe, building on our previous...
Chloe receives 2018 award for Excellence in Cell Dynamics
Jun. 7, 2018—Congratulations, Chloe! Chloe Snider received the 2018 award for Excellence in Cell Dynamics to recognize her ongoing work investigating the role of plasma membrane lipid composition in properly executing cytokinesis. At the 2018 Cell Dynamics Symposium on May 24-25, 2018, Chloe was one of seven impressive scientists to present their work. The other speakers included: ...
Zac’s paper online at MBoC
Jun. 7, 2018—Zac Elmore's thesis work is now available online at MBoC. Zac determined how S. pombe casein kinases Hhp1/2 are targeted to the spindle pole body: localization information is in the kinase domain. Zac collaborated with co-grad student Rodrigo Guillen to show this is a conserved feature of casein kinases, since human CK1 delta/epsilon also use kinase domain to localize to centrosomes. ...
Chloe Snider selected as VICC Graduate Student of the Year
Jun. 7, 2018—Chloe Snider received the "Graduate Student of the Year" award at the 2018 Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) Annual Retreat. She presented her research into how membrane composition contributes to proper cytokinesis in fission yeast. Congratulations on this great honor, Chloe!
