Andreea Merloiu, Class of 2021
I had a great time virtually presenting at Centro Andaluz de Biologia del Desarollo in Sevilla, Spain. My talk was titled “Centrosome driven mechanisms regualting spindle assembly, cytokinetic bridge severing, and lumenogenesis”. I loved talking to the Junior committee afterwards and the scientific discussions I had with faculty and students. Thanks so much to Ana Neto for inviting me, I’m hoping I can at some point visit in person!
Come see Hehnly Lab's Nikhila Krishnan and Abrar Aljiboury talk about their PhD projects this Thursday! Hit me up by email if you would like the zoom link.

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.
