🧬 New joint first-author preprint from the Gruneberg & Barr labs! A checkpoint holds off cell division until every chromosome is properly attached. We show it senses this through distance: kinetochores pulled away from Aurora B no longer recruit MPS1. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

#SilentWitness Can’t believe I saw this week’s episodes being filmed on my way to work last year! So cool seeing the behind the scenes of one of my favourite series! @EmiliaFox

🔬Demanding multicolor 3D imaging with ultra-low signals is a challenge for super-res microscopy. Using @LeicaMicro TauSTED Xtend, @DannyBHGold (Barr lab, @BiochemOxford) characterised NDC80, showing how microtubule tension displaces kinetochores from Aurora B during mitosis.

🎉 Excited to share my first paper as 2nd author! From the Barr & Gruneberg labs, this work explores the structure of the Chromosome Passenger Complex (CPC) and suggests a ‘pivot–tether’ model for how it binds H3pT3-phosphorylated nucleosomes (1/2) @BiochemOxford @Dunn_School

🔬I contributed super-resolution TauSTED microscopy data on the CPC, Aurora B kinase & kinetochores, using the @LeicaMicro Stellaris at @MicronOxford . I'm grateful to be part of this collaborative effort! Read the paper from @emboreports here: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…. (2/2).

Thank you @CRUKresearch for showcasing some of my microscopy! Check out the article 😊 @MicronOxford
🌟 Our #ResearchIsBeautiful campaign continues to inspire! Congratulations to Danny Gold from the University of Oxford for his stunning image which captures microtubules attaching to chromosomes via kinetochores to form mitotic spindles.

The Barr lab @BiochemOxford has discovered the important role of cell division timing mechanisms in the formation of cancer. The research, funded by Cancer Research UK, provides valuable insight into how damaged cells are normally stopped from growing. ⬇️bit.ly/202502-barr

It’s a microscopy kinda day at the @MicronOxford Bio-imaging Facility, using the awesome Leica Stellaris with TauSTED! Pushing the limits of diffraction limited imaging one sample at a time 💪🏼
