Congratulations Binyam Mogessie ጥቁር ሰው✊🏿 🥳

Excited to share our last work together with Marta de Ruijter-Villani! We show that the fibrous corona, an outer-kinetochore meshwork, autonomously serves as a microtubule-organizing centre contributing to spindle assembly, and it's fundamental in acentrosomal cells like oocytes. (1/2)

I am honoured to be awarded an #ERCCoG Thank you European Research Council (ERC) and everyone that helped me on the way I guess ‘PREPARE PREPARE PREPARE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE’ does help!

The MAYosis 2023 website is open! 5 sessions will feature 5 speakers; 1 keynote and 4 talks selected from abstracts. Only trainees & junior faculty (<6 years of starting their lab) will be considered for a talk. Abstracts due March 1. Apply now! tinyurl.com/33vft9v4

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! Check it out here: cell.com/current-biolog…

Congratulations Adele!!🥳

🫣🫣🫣😓🤯 horrific indeed!!😱

Great work Masoud Zamani Esteki ! 🤩congratulations 👏👏

The bipartite centromere, what a journey! A cool discovery & a fun collaboration with Bill Earnshaw's lab & Tatsuo Fukagawa, led by Carlos & Kumiko! We found that centromeres organize into multiple domains, which independently attach microtubules. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

For people looking for an alternative to X for scientific discussions, I heartily recommend Mastodon. If you’d like to jump ship or give it another go, I wrote a quick thing to help you quantixed.org/2024/08/14/exo…

What happens at the very first moment when sperm & egg meet? We discovered a conserved trimeric ‘key’ on vertebrate sperm that binds to divergent egg proteins. Amazing work jointly lead by Victoria Deneke & Andreas Blaha Andrea Pauli. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
