Yan Wu and Yiling Lan represent Hehnly Lab at the BioInspired Symposium!

by Heidi Hehnly in


The Hehnly Lab wants to extend our congratulations to Yiling Lan (Ph.D. candidate) and Yan Wu (Postdoctoral Researcher) for their excellent presentations at the BioInspired Institute Symposium last Friday.

Both presented posters showcasing their ongoing work in developmental cell biology.

  • Yiling also gave an oral presentation in the Development and Disease focus group, highlighting emerging evidence on how the centrosome—particularly the potential interaction between Cenexin and Pericentrin—contributes to early embryogenesis.

  • Yan presented her progress on the role of cell division in Kupffer’s Vesicle (KV) morphogenesis, with a focus on how the KV disengages from the enveloping layer (EVL).


Congrats to Feng Lab on cool study examining FMRP and DHX9 during replication stress!

We love in the Hehnly Lab and at the SU BioImaging Center to help out with microscopy such as the sweet experiments included in this study titled “Complex interplay between FMRP and DHX9 during DNA replication stress”. Congrats all Feng Lab and all involved!
