On May 21st Dr. Hehnly gave an invited talk at Mount Sinai's Department of Cell, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, hosted by Dr. Sergei Sokol. The seminar presented work from two members of the lab — Favour Ononiwu, Yiling Lan and Prabhu Sankaralingam — focused on centrosome dynamics and the consequences of centrosome protein loss in the zebrafish embryo.
The zebrafish embryo offers a powerful window into early cell division, and this work addresses how the centrosome is regulated during those critical first stages of development.
Dr. Hehnly had a great time visiting the Department and Central Park!
