As my group is slowly approaching size > 1, it's time for the new lab website: volkovlab.com. Will be soon looking for a postdoc and a technician (both funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research for 3 years). While the HR approve the official ads, feel free to reach out! RT is highly appreciated

Wu, Kops et al. UMC Utrecht Oncode Institute show that the mitotic #kinesin CENP-E promotes full expansion of the outer layer of the #kinetochore known as the fibrous corona independent of its motor activity. bit.ly/3FLQKtR #CellDivision #mitosis




Happy to share our new study on the role of Plasmodium NEK1 in MTOC organization during male gamete formation. Thanks to fantastic collaborators @BrochetLab ; Eelco Tromer; Tony Holder; David Ferguson; Pathogens@KAUST; and Rita Tewari biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


And now (finally) published in EMBO journal! Thanks to CaL Milano for all the hard work bringing this together! embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congrats Hiral Shah with this elegant study - curious to hear where you go next!

We are excited to share our new findings on the NEK1 kinase in male gamete formation and kinetochore attachment in Plasmodium. We dedicate this paper to Professor Andrew Fry (1966-2024). Great collaborations. With Mathieu Brochet, Eelco Tromer Zeeshan PLOS Biology

Check out this preprint from Ben Jenkins et al! Genes acquired through HGT enable Paramecium to control its algal symbionts through a complex network of glycan sensing 🦠 Congratulations to all authors on this exciting discovery 🎉

In eLife - the journal: A novel SUN1-ALLAN complex coordinates segregation of the bipartite MTOC across the nuclear envelope during rapid closed mitosis in Plasmodium berghei doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…. Out today. If you are at @biomalpar then happy to show the poster on it.
