Since peanuts are shaped like chromosomes, here is a mitotic peanut cake. If we wait long enough there will be two cakes :)

I am thrilled to share that the work from my PhD is now available as a preprint on bioRxiv. Follow the link below to find out more about the role of PANEM in facilitating interaction between chromosomes and the mitotic spindle!

A thread on our recent paper with Vitelli and @squishycell1 labs. It’s got biology, physics, machine learning… a little something for everyone! It all started with a simple question:
Can we predict traction forces directly from images of proteins?

NEW ONLINE: Schuh & co show that, in human and porcine oocytes, actin cables and microtubule loops move chromosomes into a cluster before spindle assembly to ensure fast and complete chromosome capture in meiosis.

Were you taught that CDK1 is a proline-directed kinase? We think that's only half the story. Join us as a postdoc to discover the functions of non proline directed CDK1 phosphorylation in human cells. jobs.ac.uk/job/CWC909/postdo…

As 2022 is coming to an end, I want to look back on some great memories I have from being PICLS social/scientific manager in the past year. Working along side this fantastic committee was the best and most fun time I’ve had in my PhD so far. Good luck to the new PICLS in 2023!
