Favour, Lan, and Yan did a great job presenting at our annual BioInspired Research Symposium at Syracuse University; and Lan won a poster award! Congrats to Boryana on her talk about the BioArt Research Coalition of Syracuse (BARCS)!
Favour Ononiwu at her poster titled “The role of cilia in de novo lumen formation”
Yan Wu presenting her poster titled “Zones of mitotic activity during Left-Right Organizer development”
Yiling Lan presenting his poster titled “Mother centriole appendage protein, Cenexin, modulates Pericentrin distribution through a potential interaction.”
The paper is finally up at PLoS Genetics, congrats to everyone involved! You can check out the study titled “Rab8, Rab11, and Rab35 coordinate lumen and cilia formation during zebrafish left-right organizer development” here.
Figure 1 from the study that argues Left-Right Organizer cells start making cilia before they start assembling a lumen! This observations was first found by undergraduate Julie Manikas, who is an author on the study. Check it out!
The Hehnly Lab, including Favour Ononiwu and Abrar Aljiboury, had a blast giving remote talks with Stephanie Woo’s lab at University of California Merced and with Steve Caplan’s Traffic Group at UNMC! The questions and interactions were awesome.
Finally, Yiling Lan gave an excellent talk to Syracuse University Biology Graduate students. Well done!
Yiling Lan presenting on centrosomes and proximity ligation.
