Current Biology Seminar – Dr. Ahna Skop
February 15, 2022 - 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The Basic Sciences Division hosts a weekly Current Biology Seminar series where leading-edge researchers are invited from around the world to share their latest scientific breakthroughs. Lectures are typically every Tuesday and are held as virtual events.
Speaker
Ahna Skop, Ph.D.
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Professor of Genetics
Ahna Skop is a geneticist, artist, authors, and a winner of the prestigious Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Her lab seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie asymmetric cell division. The last step in cell division, abscission, relies on a transient electron-dense structure called the midbody, which resides inside the intercellular bridge between newly forming daughter cells.
Seminar Title: The midbody remnant is a novel translating RNA-based organelle necessary for intercellular communication
