I am incredibly honored to join the Pew Scholars family! Thank you The Pew Trusts and Pew Health for your support and for believing in our vision, and a huge thank you to both my mentors, past and present, and to all of my trainees and mentees.

Kinetochore community save the date! The 8th EMBO Dynamic Kinetochore Workshop will happen from 17–20 June 2024 at Caux in Switzerland. Sign up for notifications at coming-soon.embo.org/w24-37 - the full website will be launched in September. #EMBOkinetochore2024 #DKW2024

We are excited to share our latest preprint on BioRxiv (doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…). Together with @AndreaMusacchi1 we investigated the regulated recruitment of Mps1 to the budding yeast kinetochore and propose a model that puts Mps1 localization under indirect regulation of Ipl1.

We are happy to present the official website of the DKW 2024 meeting - please spread the word and submit your abstracts! We have 20 slots for selected talks (prioritized for early career researchers). We hope to see many of you in Caux next year meetings.embo.org/event/24-kinet…

Excited to share our latest preprint, excellent work by Emily and Erin Jenson! Extensive mutagenesis of the Ndc80c revealed a very busy 'interaction hub,' vital for Mps1 binding and competitive regulation of localization: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are very grateful to The Company of Biologists and EMBO Events for their generous support of the Dynamic Kinetochore Workshop 2024! Still a month left to register - please join us to hear all the recent kinetochore-related research and present your work meetings.embo.org/event/24-kinet…

One week left to register for the EMBO Dynamic Kinetochore Workshop in Caux, Switzerland. Great lineup of speakers and great location! Don't miss it! meetings.embo.org/event/24-kinet…

Check out my dispatch, highlighting three great articles on how Mps1 and Dam1 have a shared binding site at the budding yeast kinetochore. Articles from Westermann/ @AndreaMusacchi1, Miller, and Harrison groups. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jCED3QW8S6E…

Big thanks to all Dynamic Kinetochore Workshop participants for excellent science, engaging conversations, and mountain excursions! We hope to see everyone in Oxford in 2027. Thanks also to our generous sponsors EMBO Events The Company of Biologists eLife - the journal Chromosoma_Edboard Swiss National Science Foundation Université de Genève EMBO

#1: CheC-PLS (pronounced ‘check, please’) is a new genomic technique. It relates to ChIP, but adds 4 crucial features: 1. contiguity (how distant events are regulated) 2. history (where a protein has been) 3. heterogeneity (single cell data) 4. context (mapping repeats).

Thrilled to share our new paper in Science Magazine, in which we identify p62/SQSTM1 as a critical regulator of micronuclei 🧬🔬🧫 #ScienceResearch science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our new preprint on the #Hedgehog pathway! We uncover how #Smoothened (SMO), a noncanonical #GPCR, binds & inhibits #PKA via an intrinsically disordered region, mimicking known GPCR/PKA signaling complexes despite minimal sequence similarity. #AlphaFold #IDR

Trump blocks NIH review. I’m on a study section to review cancer grants but received this email today: NIH has paused all communication, as directed by the new administration (e.g. cnn.com/2025/01/21/hea… ), and that apparently includes a pause for all study section meetings
