Wu, Kops et al. UMC Utrecht Oncode Institute show that the mitotic #kinesin CENP-E promotes full expansion of the outer layer of the #kinetochore known as the fibrous corona independent of its motor activity. bit.ly/3FLQKtR

We had a blast in Sitges with 6 rockstar European Research Council (ERC) groups: Musacchio Lab Surrey Lab Kops Lab Nenad Pavin KamenzLab & Nedelec! Soaked up tons of fresh knowledge, brainstormed ideas, kicked off new joint activities. Plus, we dipped in the sea & enjoyed the lively bar scene!

Cannot believe how great my lab is: check out the surprise they had for me in honor of me taking over directorship of Hubrecht Institute institute on 1 Sep.

Super proud that our joint research proposal with Geert Kops (Kops Lab, Hubrecht Institute) and Beatriz Carvalho (Gerrit Meijer, The Netherlands Cancer Institute) was granted by KWFKankerbestrijding!

We will study the origin and impact of chromosome copy number alterations during early tumorigenesis. hubrecht.eu/dutch-cancer-s…

Incredibly honored and thankful for the opportunity to lead this fantastic institute!

Welcome (back) to Utrecht, René! Congratulation to you and the Maxima Center

A new preprint from our lab: discovery of a non-motor role for the kinesin CENP-E in assembly of the fibrous corona to aid high fidelity chromosome segregation. Stellar work by Jingchao Wu, in collaboration with Max Raas Eelco Tromer and Berend Snel biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Last month has seen two #CellCycle -related #NRMCBReview |s 🥳
The first one is by Kops Lab
and Andrew McAinsh, who discuss the spindle assembly checkpoint: go.nature.com/3KPfXpo

Great insights into evolution of the microtubules-binding Dam1 and Ska complexes by Laura van rooijen. And a next chapter in our fun 10+year collaboration with Snel lab Utrecht University !

Make sure to read this interview with our Geert Kops Kops Lab in MedNet Oncologie! Journalist Frank van Wijck talks with Geert about the successes of Oncode's first five years and a vision for the future.

Just saw a lecture by Elisabeth Bik Elisabeth Bik who visited Hubrecht Institute to talk about integrity in scientific publishing. Goes beyond papers: involves also lab culture, good mentoring and proper raw data scrutinization. Great work!

Massive thanks to Fioranna Renda and Alexey Khodjakov for highlighting our recent work in Current Biology led by Jingchao & Ainhoa Larreategui in collaboration with Marta de Ruijter-Villani. Truly a great contextualisation of our results!
