Research Interests:
My lab focuses on cellular pathways that preserve genome integrity during mitosis. We are especially focused on anaphase and how the major events of anaphase are coordinated with DNA replication to ensure proper sister chromatid resolution. In studying these pathways, we have grown more generally interested in how normal cells transition into disease states, states that support aneuploidy in cancer or that result in progressive failures in cell functions in neurodegenerative disease.
