A persistent intracellular bridge and cell cycle misregulation enable polar body cell divisions and tumor formation in Mos-deficient eggs Mammalian female meiosis is uniquely regulated to produce a developmentally competent egg capable of supporting embryogenesis. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate, with half extruded in...

Membrane composition-dependent patterning of Rho and F-actin in an artificial cell cortex Cortical excitability, a phenomenon in which the cell cortex is dynamically patterned with waves of F-actin assembly, has been described in a variety of animal model systems, including embryos of mamm...

📢 Pre-print alert 📢 We are excited to share the lab's first research article! We used our artificial cortex system to investigate how membrane composition regulates self-organized cortical dyanamics. Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Join the Geisel DICE Office, in partnership with the New Hope Baptist Church, for a community health and wellness fair, dedicated to discussions around nutrition, importance of health screenings, breast and prostate cancer awareness, and importance of community. More information at the link here:

Reconstitution of autophagic-like membrane tethering reveals that Atg11 can bind and cluster vesicles on cargo mimetics Macroautophagy (hereafter, autophagy) is essential for the degradation of mitochondria from yeast to humans. Mitochondrial autophagy in yeast is initiated when the selective autophagy scaffolding p...

I'm very excited to share out latest work now published in Autophagy.

This work was led by Dr. Devika Andhare and demonstrates the membrane binding and clustering capabilities of Atg11 using a new reconstitution system.

We are excited to announce that the Department of Biochemistry & Cell Biology at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine is recruiting for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level.
