We are excited to share that Yan Wu will be transitioning from the Hehnly Lab as she begins an exciting new position in Boston.
During her time in the lab, Yan made foundational contributions to our understanding of left–right organizer development, particularly through her work on mitotic regulation, cytoskeletal organization, and tissue morphogenesis in zebrafish. Her leadership on projects examining cytokinetic bridges, microtubule dynamics, and epithelialization has been instrumental in shaping several ongoing and published studies. Beyond her scientific contributions, Yan has been an exceptional mentor and collaborator, fostering a rigorous and supportive research environment.
We are grateful for Yan’s many contributions to the lab and look forward to seeing the continued impact of her work in this next phase of her career. We wish her all the best in Boston.
