Research Interests

Within the broad theme of cell division, our research is currently focused in the following areas:

  • Cell biology of meiotic drive: genetic cheating in violation of Mendel's First Law
  • Centromere inheritance through the germline
  • Optogenetic tools for cell biology
  • Mechanics of cell division, particularly interactions between chromosomes and spindle microtubules and regulation by mitotic kinases
