Rebecca LaVictoire has just joined the lab as a research tech.  Rebecca spent the past several months in the jungle studying the behavior of rhesus macaques.  Here she’s thinking “hmmm, maybe I’ve made a big mistake”.   Lets hope not.  Welcome Rebecca!

It was great to have Madeline Gish with us this past summer.  She came to us through the

OMRF Fleming Scholars Research Program.   Madeline did a great job working with Regis

on the dependence of aneuploid cells on certain gene sets.  She’s now back at Hillsdale.  Stay

in touch Madeline!

We are excited to have Alisha Asif join the lab.  Alisha is a junior at Oklahoma High School for Science and Mathematics.  She’ll be exploring mechanisms of chromosome cohesion in mitosis and meiosis.  Here she is learning the joys of tetrad dissection with Regis.

Régis has just been awarded a grant from the National Cancer Institute for his research on aneuploidy.  Congrats!!

Emily Kurdzo published the first portion of her thesis research in GENETICS.

Early version is on-line now.  The Journal version coming soon…..

Congratulations to Emily Kurdzo who passed her thesis defense today!  Emily is moving on to a post-doc at Harvard where she’ll be working on “an organism with vertebrae”.  (Emily – you’ll miss those spineless yeast, and we’ll miss you).

Good luck!!
