Our new PLOS Biology paper shows that #Celegans inherit more than just DNA from their parents: doi.org/10.1371/journa… Reinier Prosée walks you through it in this animated video: youtu.be/_2rn8Ja1S0Q #SciComm Biologie - UNIGE Faculty of Science | UNIGE UNIGE_en Drawings: Stella Toonen

Dr Luca Cirillo was the 4th winner of this year's Postdoc Small Grant competition!👏Luca is a #postdoc based in Pines lab, where he uses #biochemistry & #microscopy to study the master regulator of cell division, Cyclin B1. #Postdocs_ICR #CancerResearch 1/2

Today this #ERC graph is doing the rounds on Italian academic twitter, I thought it was worth translating it. This is what brain drain looks like

A new preprint from McAinsh lab Andrew McAinsh and Meraldi lab is now available on bioarxiv 🎉

A belated welcome and farewell (!) to Molly Martin, our summer student. Thank you to the BSCB for sponsoring her, and special thanks to Luca for his dedicated and inspirational mentorship.

Mark your calendars for the postdoc-organized (shout out to @AmbikaNadkarni, @MaryMirvis, and myself!) Symposium on Reconstruction of Organelle Interactions on 3-4th March 2022 for the C3STC. Poster submissions are open, registration deadline 20th Feb! Website in thread.

Hey twitter, did you know you can measure protein concentration in living cells? I do now, thanks to MartinaB and Saptha swaran! Check out our new preprint on time-resolved FCS on Cyclin B1 and Cdk1. Pines lab Camilla Ruffilli Catherine Coates biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Good news twitter, our paper is out. Using FC(C)S we were able to measure Cyclin B1 concentration and interactions in living cells, check it out! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Pines lab Saptha swaran Camilla Ruffilli MartinaB Catherine Coates

Our paper is out! 🎉Cédric Castrogiovanni and Alessio Inchingolo talk about a previously undescribed HURP/EB free mixed nucleotide zone of the k-fiber here: rdcu.be/cTpMh

Luca is visiting and we celebrate 20 years of the Gotta lab!

Excellent talk by Luca at the Consequences of Aneuploidy meeting honouring Angelika Amon FASEB #Aneuploidy22. I think Angelika would have approved.

We are looking for a microscopist to pursue our exciting discoveries with Fluorescence Cross Correlation Spectroscopy (FCCS). jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/392/…

Does your (EU) country attract or lose top researchers? AT, CH attract a lot. FR, DE, BE, ES are open places: as many leave as arrive. IE is a closed system. Italy, there is something very wrong: *very* few come, many go. Plot made with European Research Council (ERC) data.

Did you know that kinetochore proteins evolve rapidly, suggesting functional innovation?🤩 Check out our new computational tool FREEDA that detects protein innovation fully automatically - run it yourself and see if your favorite protein innovates too! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are looking for a PhD student! Please contact Monica Gotta if you are interested

Delighted that our story on super-low noise genes is out in Science Advances. Awesome collaboration with Ramon Grima and Abhi Singh. The expression noise of constitutive eukaryotic genes can be well below the “Poisson limit” - we propose how. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv… #pombe

Hey twitter, turns out you need nucleosomes to degrade Cyclin B1 on time and get out of mitosis without problems. Check our new preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Pines lab in collaboration with Claudio Alfieri and Choudhary Lab. Saptha swaran annalisa roberti

How can APC/C E3 recognize & inactivate CDK1 as soon as the spindle checkpoint is switched off? Luca Cirillo, Rose Young et al identify chromosome as key platform recruiting both Cyclin B1 and APC3 via their arginine anchor motifs Pines lab Claudio Alfieri embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
