Alaina’s paper accepted at MBoC!
Jun. 6, 2018—2018 is off to a great start: MBoC has recently accepted a manuscript by Alaina Willet, a post-doc in the Gould lab! This paper builds on the work of former graduate student Adam Bohnert, which demonstrated phospho-regulation of the formin Cdc12, which is essential for forming the actin of the contractile ring. Adam also identified Sid2 as one of Cdc12's regulatory...
Welcome new rotation student: Tony Rossi
Jun. 6, 2018—We are excited to welcome Tony Rossi to the lab! Tony is a first-year IGP student who is spending his third rotation with us. He is working under the mentorship of post-doc Alaina Willet. We asked Tony a few questions to get to know him! How did you get here (e.g. hometown, undergrad, previous research experiences)? I'm...
