Excited to share a preprint! We find that chromosome size-dependent spindle forces impair mammalian mitotic error correction of long chromosomes. Congrats to graduate student Megan K Chong who led this work! With Miquel miquel rosas salvans and Vanna Tran. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our lab is exicted to be at American Society for Cell Biology #cellbio2023 in Boston. Come check out what we've been up to! C3STC

Lab dinner with past and present lab members at #CellBio2023 😊

Congratulations to graduate student Megan K Chong from our lab who received a UCSF Dean’s Award for Excellence in Mentoring! Megan is an inspiring mentor to many in our lab and out. And congrats to all other awardees! Graduate Division

Excited to share our work out in PLOS One with Goga Lab showing that expressing an oncogene protects spindle poles from fracturing in mechanically confined environments. Congrats to first authors Renaldo Sutanto and Lila Neahring and all authors! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Excited to share our work Journal of Cell Biology! We find that chromosome size-dependent spindle forces impair mammalian mitotic error correction of long chromosomes. Congrats to graduate student Megan K Chong who led this work! With Miquel miquel rosas salvans Vanna Tran rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Excited to share our work Journal of Cell Biology! We find that torques within and outside the spindle oppose each other to limit spindle twist during anaphase. Congrats to Lila Neahring who led the work! Thanks to Nathan Cho, Caleb Rux, Ahmet Yildiz, Upadhyayula and Subramanian Labs.

Nominate a colleague or yourself to speak at the Motility & Cytoskeleton Subgroup at the 2025 Biophysical Society Meeting! Radhika Subramanian and I are organizing the subgroup and looking for nominations by July 8th: forms.gle/i3AMosmEugx2cn….

Nominate a colleague or yourself for the Motility and Cytoskeleton Early Career Award at the 2025 Biophysical Society Meeting! To do so fill out this form and email Radhika Subramanian and I your CVs by Dec 1 2024: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Excited to share our work out in Current Biology ! We find that SKAP's binding to microtubules *reduces* friction at the kinetochore-microtubule interface and increases attachment stability under force. Congrats to postdoc Miquel miquel rosas salvans and all authors! With Caleb Rux

Excited to share NuMA preprint #1/2! We find that NuMA mechanically reinforces the spindle independently of its partner dynein. Congrats to student Nathan Cho who led the work, with Merve Aslan and Ahmet Yildiz. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share NuMA preprint #2/2! We report structural and functional insights into how NuMA activates and regulates dynein at cell division. Congrats to Merve Aslan Ahmet Yildiz, Ennio d'Amico Carter Lab and Nathan Cho from our lab. And others inc. Maddie Blaauw from our lab.
