Margarete was a wonderful friend and great scientist. She will be sorely missed by us all.
#InMemoriam: Margarete Heck, professor of cell biology and genetics at @EdinburghUni, died peacefully at home amid her loving family under a blue moon on August 30, 2023, after a long journey with ovarian cancer. An obituary from her former colleagues: bit.ly/484cUDr

After a 3 year hiatus, a successful @OMRF Cell Cycle and Cancer Biology "annual" retreat at Keystone State Park, OK. Great whiteboard talks from trainees, vicious cornhole tournament and insightful input from our guest, Dr. Brian Mitchell from Northwestern.

Also, feeling simultaneously thrilled and a little embarrassed that my parents drove out to celebrate with me my first day @OMRF. @BotJunkie’s parents even sent flowers!

We are so thrilled to welcome Elizabeth Finn to the Cell Cycle & Cancer Biology program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. She will make us a better department and we will do our best to help her excel!
Our department coffee station, "The Turning Worm Cafe," has been closed since the start of Covid. This week we reopened with a significant upgrade to our coffee instrumentation.
Great to welcome Rafal to Cell Cycle & Cancer Biology @OMRF. Looking forward to great science.
We welcomed @DonczewR to the Cell Cycle & Cancer Biology Research Program this week! 🥳 His lab will study a family of proteins that regulate gene transcription, the process of “reading” DNA. The breakdown of this regulation is a common cause of cancer. ⤵️ omrf.org/2022/08/01/omrf-add…
The Gorbsky lab is seeking a new tech to help us understand genome instability in iPS cells. All levels of education and experience welcome to apply. Below optical genome mapping with @Bionano Saphyr. Apply here (scroll down a bit): bit.ly/3zrEHiH

That’s a wrap on FASEB yeast chromosome biology and cell cycle! I’m looking forward to organizing the next one with @ddawsonBiology and Mundi Wellinger.
Congratulations to our own Marysia Narożna (@Maria_Narozna) participant @OMRF in @FulbrightPoland #BioLAB program who was awarded her PhD with distinction from Poznan Univ Med Sci (@PUMS_tweets). Marysia is rejoining us as a postdoc, mapping mechanisms of aneuploidy in iPS cells.
Happy to announce Casey Dubose’s (@dubose_bio) paper analyzing genomic instability in iPS cells. Casey pioneered this new lab project. After three years as a tech, he moved on to grad school at Univ of Chicago, where he will continue his successes. bit.ly/3c676C1
New Xenopus tropicalis cell lines. Fun collaboration with Horb lab @XenopusNXR, support from #WhitmanCenter @MBLScience and @NSF. Below, cell expressing GFP-tubulin shows breaking & shrinking microtubules, imaged with @MizarImaging Tilt light sheet. ow.ly/Zztt50JRval

I’m extremely excited to announce that this August I’ll be starting a lab at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (@OMRF) in the Cell Cycle & Cancer Biology Research Program! 1/4
Great to see Aaron Tipton's work highlighted in the Journal of Cell Science, overturning a overly simplistic paradigm for mitotic spindle microtubule dynamics.
Tipton and Gorbsky @GorbskyLab @OMRF identify more than two microtubule populations in the mitotic spindle; more in our free Research highlight: ow.ly/xgca50I2A15

We're looking for young faculty! A great opportunity for someone in a supportive environment. Exact research focus is open but we are looking for someone who will flourish within our highly collaborative group. Strongly committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.
Great to welcome jake kirkland to Cell Cycle and Cancer Biology at @omrf. Looking forward to many great science discussions.
