I’m thrilled to announce that our lab has received our first R01! Thank you to all lab members whose hard work made this possible, and to the @NIH @NIGMS for the support. Here’s to a few more years of poking at microtubule networks with lasers!

I'm excited to share our latest preprint on how kinesin-5's unique tetramerization and tail domains enable it to crosslink and slide microtubules. Congrats to collaborators Jawdat Al-Bassam, Scott Forth, Gary Brouhard, and Steve Rosenfeld, and especially to Malina Iwanski!

The mid-late tenure track space is particularly challenging right now. A big issue is gaining the national recognition and letter writers required for tenure. This last 1.5yrs has shut down many opportunities with only a 1yr extension to make up for it. 1/n

Thrilled that our latest work is now online at @CurrentBiology here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cueD3QW8Rwn… We show that crosslinked microtubule networks subject to motor-driven sliding loads can operate via two distinct mechanical pathways, which could impact mitotic spindle stability.
