New paper: Mechanism of contractile ring mechanosensation
22/11/23 16:21
Our paper on the mechanism of contractile ring mechanosensation has been accepted (in principle) by Nature Communications. This work was started in 2020 and was conducted by a team including Christina (MSc) and undergraduate researchers Gagan, Wayne, and Joey. It all began after we received our confocal scope in the middle of the pandemic.

Aoi Hiroyasu is the very first member of our lab and has been an important member contributing to the screening project since January 2019.
We will miss her but are happy that she will pursue her new career in Osaka, Japan!
Nghi Vo has joined as a Co-op student from the UBC-BCIT program.
It was a tough year for any trainees but she did an excellent job on our journal club and learned the confocal microscopy techniques.
Good luck on your future endeavours!
