Congrats to Shannon Coyne for finishing her Summer SURF program at Upstate Medical School this year. Shannon worked on a project examining the role of the cytokinetic bridge in assembling polarity using zebrafish.
Celebrating Shannon's research this summer we had a Cajun style'd dinner prepared by Michael Chang. Left to Right: Heidi Hehnly (me), Erica Colicino (Graduate student), PJ (Lab Security), Lindsay Rathbun (Graduate Student), Judy Freshour (Research Assistant), and Shannon Coyne (SURF Undergraduate Fellow).
Lindsay Rathbun and Erica Colicino did a great job this year presenting their work at ASCB in San Francisco! Erica talked about her study on the spatial and temporal regulation of the mitotic kinase Plk1 and Lindsay presented her work on the role of division orientation during 3D expansion and embryonic patterning.
Lindsay Rathbun presenting her talk titled "The role of division orientation in tissue patterning". This is a collaborative project between our lab (Hehnly Lab) and the Amack Lab at SUNY Upstate.
Erica Colicino presenting her poster titled "Plk1 spatial synchronization and activity during mitosis." This is a collaborative project between our lab (Hehnly Lab) and Leszek Kotula's laboratory at SUNY Upstate Medical University.
