For those interested in hearing more about our latest preprint, Bernardo will be giving a short talk about it at tomorrow's Digital Cell Cycle Club! In addition, Ana will also give a talk on the role of Augmin in k-fibre maturation. Tune in at the breakout session at 4.20 pm GMT!

Curious about an alternative mammalian model system, and its potential to tackle k-fiber maturation? Tune at breakout room session 1 at 4.20pm GMT 🦌✌️

Another review from the lab. Huge congrats to PhD students Margarida Dantas and Joana Lima for their hard work. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

New paper from the lab! Liam (@SciencyCheese) and Helder discuss a recent study by Uchida et al. regarding the role of intra-kinetochore stretching in silencing the SAC, and where these results fit in our current understanding of kinetochore function. cell.com/current-biolog…

Very pleased to be part of this latest round of funding and very grateful to La Caixa for investing in our group. Looking forward to doing some more exciting research on microtubules!

Happy to share that both Antonio and Liam had their grants funded in the latest FCT call!

And to follow yesterday's good news, both Joana M and Joana O were awarded PhD Studentships from FCT! They will be starting their projects in September, after taking a well-deserved summer break.

Check out our new preprint by Margarida Gomes, where we talk about an unexpected path of micronuclei formation from unaligned chromosomes: 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today we celebrate one more CID lab member's accomplishment! Congratulations to Marco who successfully defended his PhD thesis on the impact of DNA damage during mitosis (read more at biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). It has truly been a pleasure to watch you grow as a scientist!
