The Martin lab won the coveted group costume competition for the Biology department Halloween party. They had a winning combination of fish-like pillows and various forms of wasabi.
Graduate student Clint Ko and Undergraduate Prateek Kalakuntla publish MBoC paper on how mitotic entry can repress ‘active’ contractility and result in relaxation that promotes neighboring tissue folding.
Congratulations Mimi Xie for publishing her work “Loss of Gα12/13 Exacerbates Apical Area-dependence of Actomyosin Contractility” in Molecular Biology of the Cell! Mimi showed how apical actin density can depend on apex size. Suppressing this dependence is important to coordinate contractility across a tissue.
Jonathan Coravos gave an amazing seminar and successfully defended his thesis. Well done Jonathan! Have fun in Chile!
Several members of the Martin lab – Juana De la O, Anthony Mc Dougal, and Mingmar Sherpa – will be attending the 13th annual International Conference on Neural Tube Defects at the University of British Columbia from August 11th – 14th. Juana and Anthony will be giving talks on their research, while Mingmar will be presenting a poster. Please come by and say hello!
Congratulations to graduate student, Juana De La O, on passing her qualifying exam.
