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…

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

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

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

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…

Postdoc opportunity @jdgrosslab. Please RT!

Excited to share our work out in eLife - the journal. What do spindle poles do? We make barrel-shaped, pole-less spindles and ask what the mammalian spindle can and cannot do without spindle poles. Congrats Manuela Richter manuela and all authors!!! elifesciences.org/articles/85208

Excited to share a preprint! We find that overexpressing oncogene Cyclin D1 protects spindles from fracturing under compressive stress, which may help cells divide in solid tumors. With Andrei Goga. Congrats to Renaldo Sutanto Lila Neahring and all! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Manuela Richter @Manuela26749799 and Lila Neahring Lila Neahring on beautiful thesis work!

We had a blast at our 10 year lab reunion last weekend. Almost everyone made it. So cool to see all the things people are up to now. Thanks for coming everyone!

Congrats to BMS student Zack Mullin-Bernstein who 'rocked' his qualifying exam yesterday! Beautiful proposal on the mechanics of the anaphase spindle. Can't wait to see what you will find!

Congrats to Lila Neahring on beautiful thesis work and a great thesis talk last Friday. We will miss you so much! Enjoy the Weintraub Award Symposium tomorrow and your postdoc in Jen Zallen's lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center !

Excited to share our review on the mechanisms underlying spindle assembly and robustness. It was fun to put together and we hope you enjoy it! Written by Lila Neahring and Venecia Valdez together with Sabine Petry.

Congratulations to Lila Neahring from our lab who is one of this year's Weintraub Graduate Student Awardees! We are very proud of you, Lila! Graduate Division

Excited to share a preprint! We make barrel-shaped, pole-less spindles and ask which properties emerge locally from k-fibers and which emerge more globally from focused spindle poles. Congrats Manuela Richter manuela and all authors!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our work out in eLife - the journal using modeling and experiments to probe the underpinnings of the mammalian spindle's heterogeneous mechanics. In collaboration with Rob Phillips' lab. Congrats Pooja Suresh and Vahe Galstyan! elifesciences.org/articles/79558
