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.

Using Thresholds to Measure and Quantify Cells in Image J

I 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 […]

A brief introduction to Mitosis

Here 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 !

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 […]

Stills from Live Imaging of Human Cancer Cell

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).

More new Movies of Live Cancer Cells

We 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
