Abstract Text The centromere is a unique chromosomal region that is essential for high-fidelity chromosome transmission during cell division. In mitosis, microtubules attached to the kinetochore help ensure the faithful segregation of sister chromatids into daughter cells. Our goal is to understand the mechanisms that govern centromere function. Centromere identity relies on the deposition of [...]April 24, 2023

Grant Abstract: Ionizing radiation remains the mainstay of therapy for glioblastoma (GBM). We have recently found that senescent GBM cells that typically occur upon radiation can promote tumor recurrence via a process called “senescence escape.” These cells acquire cancer stem cell (CSC) properties and later promote tumor recurrency. Thus, while radiotherapy controls tumor growth initially [...]March 3, 2023
