Congrats to Nicole Hall on her write-up about Sub-Distal Appendages!

by Heidi Hehnly in ,


Check out a fun write-up by Hehnly Lab undergraduate turned post-bac, Nicole Hall, about a substructure of the centrosome, sub-distal appendages contribution to cell division, ciliogenesis, and differentiation. Also importantly, Nicole is on the look out for sweet graduate programs, she is the catch of the decade for any lab who wants an excited, curious, and driven graduate student. Keep your eyes peeled for great things in the future from Nicole!

The title of her paper is: A centriole’s Subdistal appendages: contributions to cell division, ciliogenesis and differentiation

You can find it here.

Appendage proteins result in cilia defects and/or spindle positioning defects with downstream consequences in development.

Welcome Katherine!

Welcome Katherine Hostage to the lab! Super excited to see what you can do with examining the role of Pericentrin in early zebrafish development! Katherine will be graduating this summer (2021) and has been playing for SU Soccer while working towards a degree in Biochemistry.
