Research topics (related to the Institute)

1. Asymmetric cell divisions and spindle positioning.
2. SUMOylation control of mitotic spindle organization

Research summary

• Dr Liakopoulos’ lab studies actin-microtubule-linking complexes that mediate spindle positioning during asymmetric cell divisions. The lab also investigates regulation of spindle organization by the ubiquitin family protein SUMO.
