Libuda Lab

Have a DNA break in your oocyte? Don't worry, your sisters can help with it! Sister chromatid crossovers and noncrossovers & intrachromatid events happen during worm meiosis! Read about it in the latest lab preprint by @EToraason #meiosis4eva @libudalab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Postdoc Nicole Kurhanewicz @libudalab was selected for an NIH F32 NRSA postdoc fellowship!!! Congrats!!! She not only is adding to the lab’s research but also our celebratory champagne bottle collection!

Congrats to Nicole on getting an NIH F32 fellowship!!

Our NIH MIRA award kicked in! Thanks ⁦@libudalab⁩ for the surprise celebration the other day! We’re hiring post docs, grad students, a tech, and a bioinformatician!

Today is Cordell's last day in lab and his contributions to the lab have been numerous, but the ones that stand out are the xmas white elephant gift & the new chalkboard lab walls! He will be missed and we wish him all the best in the Biggins lab @SueBiggins #endofanera

SPURS/OURS Undergraduate Research Symposium poster session day 1 happening now, come check out day 2 of posters tomorrow where the Libuda lab undergraduates will be presenting their research @UO_UROP @UO_Research @uoregon

Libuda lab undergraduates, Adrianna and Anna, gave beautiful talks on their summer research projects at the SPURS/OURS research symposium @UO_Research @uoregon

@sugi05 Congrats Kenji! Such an awesome story!

Our paper is now available online! We identified contact-dependent cell division orientation mechanisms. In response to physical or chemical contact cues, cortical myosin exhibits different flow pattern and specifies division axis. cell.com/developmental-…

Contact-dependent cortical myosin flow generates force that orients cell division, from Bowerman & co ow.ly/cuhY30l2Ka4

Albert Hinman from the Villeneuve lab visited the lab during his Oregon road trip. We celebrated his great talk and visit with some pizza and brews @FallingSkyBrew

The Recomboys layin' it down in Journal Club #meiosis #recombination

NEW CRISPR protocol: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Please share with your friends and let me know how the hybrid donors work for you! The idea is two PCR products one with homology arms, one without, mix melt and anneal. The hybrids improve efficiency of GFP-size inserts 5-10X

Our MIRA grant is getting funded! Thank you to the reviewers, POs, and council who saw the potential for our research program on recombination pathway and partner choice during meiosis. We're hiring postdocs, grad students, and techs @libudalab! #meiosis4eva #celegans

To celebrate our four undergraduate researchers who are graduating, we peddled around on a pubcycle to some of Eugene's breweries!! #12personbike #craftbeer 🍻🍻

A photo from @dlibuda's 'Quack Chat' pub talk: "It’s Getting Hot in Here — Why Sperm Can’t Handle the Heat and What Biologists are Discovering About Genetic Inheritance" #Sperm #HeatStress #DNAdamage

Dr Seuss meets science. My grad student Erik with his two amazing graduating honors undergrads! #DrSeuss #grantaims #homemadeshirts ⁦@libudalab⁩

@dlibuda Three students from the lab were selected to give oral presentations! Come check them out at the 1:30-3pm session in the EMU Maple Room!

So excited for the @libudalab undergrads to present their research tomorrow! twitter.com/uo_research/st…

UO biologist Judith Eisen elected to American Academy of Arts and Science, a prestigious honor celebrating her pioneering work on #zebrafish and her tremendous research leadership ow.ly/HCij30jG2ue

Required reading for #recombination mechanism fans. Tour-de-force of HTS and informatics. Congrats to Marie-Claude and Bertrand! Mechanistic View and Genetic Control of DNA Recombination during Meiosis cell.com/molecular-cell…

@foodskop @2018MMMletsgo @McKnightLab_UO Thanks Ahna!! So proud of the trophy haha

@libudalab @2018MMMletsgo @McKnightLab_UO Congrats Austin!!
