Congratulations to Jessica who won this year’s Genetics Graduate Student Symposium “Best 1st year presentation”! The Golden Chimera trophy will be proudly displayed in her office for the next year.

We are excited to announce that our new paper in JCB about how the molecular organization of cytokinesis nodes predicts the constriction rate of the contractile ring is out now. If you are interested in learning more, the link to Read More …

We are pleased to welcome both a new post-doc, Logan, and PhD student, Jessica, to the lab.

We’ve been able to welcome several new members to the lab since our last posting. Welcome Annelise, Nirav, Gershom, and Blake!

The Laplante lab has recently received news that we have been awarded an R01 to investigate the architecture of the contractile ring and how it relates to furrow ingression. Congrats everyone!
