Multiple postdoc/RA vacancies to work on the Wellcome-funded team project shown below. I also have vacancies to study senescence and to develop a chemical-genetic approach to inhibit specific cyclin/CDK complexes. See thread for details. DM or email me with any questions.
I'm excited to tell you about the most recent preprint in my lab, demonstrating that a conserved spindle matrix protein, NPP-21/TPR, is required for the stronger checkpoint in germline cells during embryogenesis in C. elegans
🚨🚨 New preprint 🚨🚨
We found that the ovary directly controls protein appetite in Drosophila.
Yes — the ovary doesn’t just make eggs… it tells the fly what to eat!

The conference “Mitotic spindle: From living and synthetic systems to theory” is open! www.phy.pmf.unizg.hr/~mitosis/
Follow us #SpindleCroatia2026!
Only two days to go until the “Mitotic Spindle: From Living and Synthetic Systems to Theory” meeting in Dubrovnik! This is the 4th time Nenad Pavin and I are organizing it, and it keeps growing with each edition. Can’t wait to see everyone in Dubrovnik!

Drosophila border cells are beautiful to watch… but far from easy to image. Kudos to the brave and skilled @vitoryang.bsky.social, who took on the challenge of establishing border cell migration imaging in the lab! His movies are astonishing, and now our first-ever study on #cell #migration is out!
Ana Pinto Teixeira @carlos-conde.bsky.social showed that excessive MPS1 activity drives CIN by promoting an untimely expansion of the fibrous corona, providing a structural basis for merotely and chromosome missegregation in colon cancer. #SpindleCroatia2026
