Department of Cell & Developmental Biology

Exciting new findings from our lab! ⏳🐟 In our latest @NatureComms paper, we show that DeltaD—not just DeltaC—drives Notch signaling in zebrafish, reshaping our understanding of segmentation clock dynamics! 🔬✨ Paper: rdcu.be/ec2Yz

🌟 New Paper Alert! 🚨 How does a developing embryo know where to place somite boundaries? 🦴🐟 Our latest study authors.elsevier.com/a/1kATe5Sx5gxl… in @Dev_Cell reveals a missing piece of the puzzle involving ERK oscillations and the segmentation clock (nature.com/articles/s4158…) (1/)

Happy to share our recent paper on the role of AK7 on centriole number and the consequence of misregulation that leads to PCD. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you're at #ASCB2024 don't miss the round table discussion led by 🔬Core Directors @MichelleItano and @ArvanitisDina on 'pulling back the curtain on a career in core facilities' @NUFeinbergMed @NU_CDB @UNC_CBP @BioimagingNA @GlobalBioImage They're both amazing! Don't miss it!

So excited to see this out in bioRxiv for the community. It was a tour-de-force, interdisciplinary, extremely fun and surprising!!!! A must read!!!!

Looking forward to this talk where @NorthwesternU @NUFeinbergMed @NU_CDB Core Directors Dina Arvanitis (CAM) and Xinkun Wang (Sequencing) will tell us about the fantastic work they are doing for our local and international community!

📣Thrilled to announce the winner of the Graphic Design Contest: Dr. Wen Lu, Research Assistant Professor. Her work titled "The Multi-Universe of CDB Research" will be featured in future digital and print media representing our department.🤩💫🧬

Dr. Stuart Stock was the first user running an experiment at Beamline 1-ID of the Advanced Photon Source (APS - @advancedphoton ) after APS's upgrade.

We are excited to be hosting Dr. Smita Krishnaswamy, Professor at @yale in genetics and computer science, this November 13th for a special seminar on “Inferring and Characterizing Cellular and Neural Dynamics with Geometric and Topological Deep Learning”.

I am very excited to share that I'll be starting as an assistant professor in the Department of Cell & Developmental Biology at Northwestern (@NU_CDB) in 2025!

The paper by Sun Kin in the lab in collaboration with Steve Rogers (UNC) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… has been accepted for publication in MBoC. Congratulations, Sun!

📢Voting in the #JCSImagingSI cover competition is open. We'll be highlighting all the shortlisted images this week! Vote number 9 for ‘Intricate Interactions: The Dance of Microtubules and Actin’ from Wen Lu (@volodya_gelfand lab). focalplane.biologists.com/2024/09/25/vot…

Looking forward to hosting Dr. @MartinWuhr for the department's Experts-in-the-Field Seminar Series this October (10/16). All members of the Northwestern community are welcome to join us at the Simpson-Querrey Auditorium at noon. 🧪🧬🧑‍🔬 #sciencelectures
