ANZAC Research Institute – Sydney Australia
Great news we are currently looking for a new honours student for 2016. The title of the project is “Developing novel biosensors to monitor DNA damage in cancer cells”. Its a very exciting new project incorporating cutting edge microscopy and fluorescent biosensors. If you think you have what it takes and are interested please feel […]
Read More Position available: 2016 Honours Student Project in our LabI often get asked how to uses Thresholds to measure things in Image J. There are some great guides on the web explaining how to use Thresholds in Image J, and here are a few that are well worth checking out [Link1][Link2]. Below are some of the Basic Steps for using Thresholds: Open your image and […]
Read More Using Thresholds to Measure and Quantify Cells in Image JGreat news, Cell Division Lab will be at the Sydney Light Optical Users Meeting, hosted by Dr Pamela Young at Sydney University, this Thursday (24th of July). I will be presenting a short seminar on “Imaging and Analysing Cell Division”. If you would like to attend please contact Pamela asap. Her details are below! Hope […]
Read More We will be at the Sydney Light Optical Users Meeting on July 24th 2014You can now download the final PDF version of our latest work here: https://www.landesbioscience.com/journals/cc/article/28401/ The great news is that its also open access so anyone and everyone can view and download it. Enjoy !
Read More Our Cell Cycle Paper is now Live and Open AccessHere is a slide that I made and often use at the beginning of my talks to briefly explain what mitosis is. The images are taken from a live cell that we have labelled with fluorescent probes to highlight the DNA (red) and microtubules (green). Enjoy !
Read More A brief introduction to MitosisOur 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 […]
Read More A brief Intro to Greatwall Kinase…The King of MitosisGreat news for those who cannot afford the very price commercial alternatives for 3D analysis of microscope images. You can download the software here And you can read the original research article published in Nature Protocols here
Read More Vaa3D: New FREE open source software for 3D image analysis !Here are a few nice still images which were taken from single frames of a timelapse movie that we did recently with some human (HeLa) cancer cells that we have constructed to stable over-express fluorescently labelled LifeAct (green) and histone H2B (red).
Read More Stills from Live Imaging of Human Cancer CellWe have been busy constructing some new cell lines that stably express multiple fluorescently tagged proteins so that we can visualise different aspects of mitosis in real-time. The results have been stunningly beautiful. You can check them out on our Vimeo Channel Enjoy
