About Cell Division Lab

The Cell Division Lab is based at the ANZAC Research Institute (ARI) in Sydney Australia and is led by A/Prof Andrew Burgess. The focus of the lab is to understand the basic mechanisms controlling cell division (mitosis), how these are disrupted in cancer, and can be used to selectively target and kill tumour cells.

Cell Image of the Week – Mitotic Catastrophe

Here is one of the images that we took using a Leica SP8 confocal microscope this week in the lab. It is a 3D image of a HeLa cell that has completely stuffed up mitosis (undergone mitotic catastrophe). It has separated whole chromosomes randomly into 2 daughter cells instead of separating the two identical chromatids in […]

A brief Intro to Greatwall Kinase…The King of Mitosis

Our favourite protein in the lab is Greatwall kinase. It was first discovered in 2004 to be critical for cell division in fruit flies (1,2) . The trail then went cold for a few years as to its exact function, but in 2009, while I was working as a post-doc in France, I was fortunate […]
