I’m thrilled to announce that our lab has received our first R01! Thank you to all lab members whose hard work made this possible, and to the @NIH @NIGMS for the support. Here’s to a few more years of poking at microtubule networks with lasers!

We're thrilled that our article on PRC1 mechanics is officially out, and that our artwork was chosen for the cover of the latest @Dev_Cell issue! Very proud of students Ignas, Mason, and Angus, who did the lovely charcoal drawing of a dividing cell w/PRC1 bundles under tension.
