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).
It is a joy to celebrate the marriage of Dr. Yan Wu, postdoctoral researcher in the Hehnly Lab, and Fangzhou Liu. Below is a photo of Hehnly Lab—past and present—with collaborators, celebrating Dr. Yan Wu and Fangzhou Liu.
Lan and Yan had a great first visit to ASCB/Cell Bio meeting this year where Lan presented a poster and Yiling a talk and a poster! They both did great, met lots of people, and asked great questions. We also got to hang with old friends (Ana Vertii, Hui-Fang Hung, Shashi Kant, and Benedict Delaval) and eat excellent food! We got to also hang out with Syracuse University Patteson and Castaneda Labs. With Alison Patteson (Physics, SU) giving a great talk in the Vimentin section! Overall it was a great trip and we can’t wait to do it again.
