Happy to announce that I received the U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER award for our project on actomyosin-ring-independent cytokinesis and its coordination with chloroplast division. I'm grateful for the members of my lab, collaborators, and friends and for the support from Duke University Duke Biology.

I am honored to be part of this exciting group of researchers to join the Early Career Advisory Board of JCellBiol.

Please also come to this Evolutionary Cell Biology subgroup. We have an exciting speaker lineup! #cellbio2023

We have two posters at #cellbio2023 ! Cytokinesis I on Sunday: Samed Delic on the role of actin & single septin in the coordination of cell & chloroplast division. I will be presenting Yaning Yuan & Natsumi Tajima-Shirasaki's work on how a cleavage furrow can form without F-actin.

Our first entirely “dry lab” paper! We explored what happens during evolution when a septin protein loses GTPase activity or GTP/GDP binding altogether. Since septins oligomerize across the nucleotide-binding pocket, the interface adapts! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
