Regulatory switching of a microtubule motor-scaffold complex

The Francis Crick Institute

A 2027 Crick PhD project with Sami Chaaban. Project background and description. To divide successfully, a cell must build a highly organised microtubule structure, use it to position the division site, and then remodel it as the two daughter cells separate. Read more

Supervisor: Dr Chaaban Chaaban

The interaction of steroid hormone receptors with FOXL2 during ovary development

The Francis Crick Institute

A 2027 Crick PhD project with Robin Lovell-Badge. Project background and description. Functional organ development requires the correct differentiation and spatial organisation of progenitor cells, where these can be anything from self-renewing stem cells through to committed intermediate cell types. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Lovell-Badge
