It was awesome visiting Hamilton College and University of Rochester BME Department last week to talk about “Centrosome driven mechanisms during tissue morphogenesis”. It was great to make new and meet old friends. It was also my first invited talk where a previous graduate student, Lindsay Rathbun, who is now the Microscopy Core Director at University of Rochester, invited me out to visit which was a special treat.
Big spot, little spot: How an asymmetric pair of mitotic centrosomes mediates early cell divisions in zebrafish
The latest Hehnly Lab preprint was featured by preLights! Check out the great write up by Maiko Kitaoka and Q&A with Lindsay Rathbun.

Check out our new Preprint!
The Hehnly Lab’s 1st preprint, led by Lindsay Rathbun with the help of many people including our graduate student Abrar Aljiboury and postbac Julie Manikas, along with Josh Bembenek’s laboratory (University of Michigan with X Bai from the NIH) and Jeff Amack’s laboratory (UPSTATE Medical School, Syracuse NY). We found some crazy large centrosomes in extremely large zebrafish embryo cells that scale with changes in cell size! We didn’t leave out C. elegans either. Check it out here:
Also check out a zebrafish embryo dividing cells! Microtubules (EMTB-GFP) on left and centrosomes (centrin-GFP) on right.
Congrats to Dr. Rathbun!
Great seminar and defense! The Hehnly Lab couldn’t be more proud. Off for drinks at Oh My Darling!
Lindsay finishing up her awesome Thesis seminar, Congrats Lindsay!
