Mechanisms of mitosis & cytokinesis in human cells
My group researches the cell biological mechanisms that underpin the growth and division of human cells. We use cell and structural biology approachers to understand chromosome alignment and segregation in mitosis, and the exquisite temporal and spatial precision of cytokinesis.
