Paul Lovell recently presented his poster with Alice Marie Garrastegui, both students from Syracuse University. Paul is a senior and has been in our lab for the past two years studying the role of supernumerary centrosomes in Breast cancer. We will miss him, but we are all excited for him to start graduate school at University of Nebraska next fall. Congrats Paul!

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.
The Hehnly Lab recently got to help with a story from Dylan Burnette's laboratory that came out in Scientific Reports. Check it out here. It is filled with beautiful microscopy and looks at the relationship between how a dividing cell communicates with an extracellular matrix, and its affect on cleavage furrow morphology, and spindle orientation.
