We are very excited to announce the publishing of “A Compendium to the Phosphoregulation of Mitosis” on the open access repository Zenodo. This compendium accompanies the 2017 publication in Cell and the interactive website. In the compendium, we have compiled all the text from the 88 popups in the online interactive visualization, with the aim […]

New Publication: The Oncogenic Functions of MASTL Kinase

I am very excited to announce our new review paper which is out now in Front Cell Dev Biol [Link]. This is also the first paper from Dr Kamila Marzec who recently joined the lab. Great work! MASTL kinase is a master regulator of mitosis, essential for ensuring that mitotic substrate phosphorylation is correctly maintained. It […]

New Co-Author Publication in Gut: CDK4 inhibitors for treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

More great news, we have another co-author publication in the outstanding journal Gut. This fabulous work was pioneered by the very talented Dr Marina Pajic and her group at the Garvan Institute. We were very honoured to be involved in such amazing work. The title of the publication is “Tailored first-line and second-line CDK4-targeting treatment […]

New Co-Author Publication! Ensa controls S-phase length by modulating Treslin levels.

Great news, we have published a co-authored paper entitled ‘Ensa controls S-phase length by modulating Treslin levels’ in the prestigious journal ‘Nature Communications’. This work was started back in 2011 when I was a Post-Doc in the laboratory of Anna Castro in France. It’s exciting to see those inital discoveries transition into the finished paper. The […]

New Publication in Cell! The Phosphoregulation of Mitosis

We are incredibly excited to announce that our SnapShot is out today in Cell! This snapshot of mitosis collates hundreds of phosphorylation events and directly links them with their regulatory kinases and counterbalancing phosphatases, in both time and space, in a highly innovative ‘circtanglar’ cell layout. More importantly, the static PDF version is accompanied by an […]

BioEssays Review on Mitotic Phosphatase Specificity now Online

Great News, our review on how phosphatase specificity is controlled during mitosis has been re-published in BioEssays and is now Online! This review was originally published in Inside the Cell, which unfortunately has shut down. But the good news is that it is still Open Access, so that means its free for everyone to read! And […]

Switching off Cancers Diversity

A defining feature in over 2/3rds of all solid tumours is the continual loss and gain of whole are small parts of chromosomes. This instability, or CIN for short, strongly implicated in tumour initiation, progression, chemoresistance and poor prognosis. CIN is created through failures during mitosis, whereby whole or parts of a chromosome are segregated […]

New Publication: Clinical Overview of MDM2/X-Targeted Therapies

Great news, we have a new Mini-Review published in Frontiers Oncology entitled “Clinical Overview of MDM2/X-Targeted Therapies“, which is apart of the Research Topic Human tumor-derived p53 mutants: a growing family of oncoproteins Here is a little snippet from the Abstract to wet your appetite! MDM2 and MDMX are the primary negative regulators of p53, which under […]
