Our lab UC San Francisco is currently recruiting a postdoc! We work on the self-organization and mechanics underlying cell division, somewhere between cell biology & biophysics. Come join us! We will all be at ASCB if you want to chat there. Please RT.

We are looking for a research technician to join our lab at UC San Francisco! Come do research with us, and help manage our lab. We are a cell biology and biophysics lab working on the mechanics of cell division. Please share and RT. You can apply here: aprecruit.ucsf.edu/JPF03844

If you want to discuss about the kinetochore-microtubule attachment and the mechanical role of the Astrin-SKAP complex in lubricating this interface come to my poster (B353) on Wednesday at 10:30 at #bps2022 Biophysical Society

Mark your calendars for the postdoc-organized (shout out to Ambika Nadkarni, MaryMirvis, and myself!) Symposium on Reconstruction of Organelle Interactions on 3-4th March 2022 for the C3STC. Poster submissions are open, registration deadline 20th Feb! Website in thread.

Do you want a know about how the astrin-SKAP complex reduces friction at the kinetochore-microtubule attachment interface? Check out my talk at American Society for Cell Biology on Friday 10th in the session 'The Physical Aspects of the Cell Cycle' and find more information in the associated poster.

Excited to share our latest preprint “Control of nuclear size by osmotic forces in Schizosaccharomyces pombe”. Many thanks to wonderful collaborators Thomas Fai & Liam Holt.

Excited to share our work out in Developmental Cell showing that opposing motor forces give the mammalian spindle mechanical and functional robustness. Spearheaded by a fantastic graduate student, Lila Neahring, with help from Nathan Cho. Congrats Lila & Nathan! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

You can register now for the 17th edition of Societat Catalana de Biologia's JORNADA DE BIOLOGIA MOLECULAR on 26th Nov ! With limited *in-person* attendence.

I really enjoyed discussing with all of you about our research on the mechanical role of SKAP at the #kinetochore . Thanks for your questions and to the #TSDC2021 organizers!
