Studies the cell and developmental biology of Naegleria and chytrid fungi. UMass Amherst and HHMI. Looking for students and/or postdocs.
So excited and grateful for this fantastic support for our lab! This is an honor earned by the lab as a community of fantastic, smart, and wonderful colleagues. Congrats, team!
⭐️ Big news! HHMI is investing $300+ million in 26 new #HHMIInvestigators from 19 US institutions. These top scientists will drive groundbreaking research in diverse fields, from neuroscience to immunology to structural biology & beyond. Welcome to HHMI! hhmi.news/4df2eVs
🔬The Fritz-Laylin lab is hoping to hire a microscope specialist in the fall of 2024. We are seeking someone with experience in light microscopy and quantitative image analysis. EM experience would be a plus! If you are interested, please send me your CV and a cover letter.
📢We are hiring a microscope specialist! Please apply and/or spread the word! hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

Exciting new work in evolutionary cell biology! Caught Andrew's nice poster on this at ASCB. Really appreciate the emphasis on the need to understand components regulating cell structures as part of an integrated system to understand how those structures evolve.
🚨New lab preprint: "We therefore propose a model for cytoskeletal evolution in which pools of microtubule network components constrain and guide the diversification of the entire network, so that the evolution of tubulin is inextricably linked to that of its binding partners."
