Ingrid Adriaans promoveert vandaag op haar onderzoek over de laatste fase van celdeling, de cytokinese. De nieuwe inzichten die tijdens dit onderzoek zijn opgedaan helpen mogelijk bij de zoektocht naar ontwikkeling van therapieën tegen kanker. Lees meer: umcutrecht.nl/nl/Nieuws/Nieu…

In ons lichaam vindt constant celdeling plaats. Verloopt die niet goed, dan kan kanker ontstaan. Ingrid Adriaans bestudeerde de slotfase, als één cel zich echt splitst in twee nieuwe. Dat leidde tot nieuwe kennis over de rol van twee eiwitten. bit.ly/2Uv2I4D @UMCU_CMM

Proud of Ingrid Adriaans who defended her thesis today. The content of her thesis inspired her father to (action)paint the cover of her thesis. Love it!

cell.com/current-biolog… It walks! Together with the Akhmanova lab we provide in vitro and in vivo evidence that MKLP2 is a motile kinesin that transports the CPC along microtubules. CPC binding makes the motor more processive. Oncode Institute Peter Jan Hooikaas @UMCU_CMM @ProgramUmc

Excited to share that we managed to induce chromosome-specific CIN, by tethering a plant kinesin onto individual chromosomes. A 'tour de force' with @KapiteinLukas Foijer lab Check out our preprint, co-posted with exciting work from @McclellandLab biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Zojuist het Europese IANUS project geopend dat onderzoek doet naar vertrouwen in wetenschap. Werk te doen voor ons als universiteiten maar voorwaarde is wel dat onze wetenschappers in veiligheid en vrijheid kunnen spreken en reizen. Stop de intimidaties! eur.nl/nieuws/erasmus…

Do some chromosomes mis-segregate more often than others? We are happy to have contributed to this exciting story on segregation bias. Thanks @KopsLab Susanne Lens @kind_jop Foijer lab for the collaboration! nature European Research Council (ERC) Croatian Science Foundation Ruđer Bošković Institute tinyurl.com/3a7983u9

#Aneuploidy22 was a great scientific meeting and a fantastic opportunity to honour Angelika. Thanks to all the speakers, poster presenters and attendees for sharing their science and making it a successful and vibrant conference.

Onlangs schreven Susanne Lens en ik een hoofdstuk voor het nieuwste boek van Stichting Biowetenschappen en Maatschappij: een overzicht van de laatste ontwikkelingen in het kanker onderzoek in begrijpelijke taal. Mooi initiatief!

Very pleased to finally see our paper published online in The EMBO Journal. doi.org/10.15252/embj.…. Great work by My Anh Truong My-Anh Truong and Paula Cané-Gasull! With fantastic help from the labs of Foijer lab and @KapiteinLukas. @UMCU_CMM Oncode Institute

Today My-Anh Truong defended her PhD thesis entitled: Tales of aneuploidy. Lessons from (individual) chromosome manipulations. And she did it masterfully! Congrats dr Truong, I am very proud to have been your supervisor. @UMCU_CMM Oncode Institute Cancer Research UMC Utrecht
