Lackner Lab

Our newest paper is out (ahead of print) in @MBoCjournal! Beautiful work by @hannahhearsawho and Nikita Divekar revealing structural features of meiotic chromosomes that promote proper congression and segregation. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…

Princeton doing the right thing and removing graduate "tuition" so they can pay PhD students more. Why should a PI mentor pay the school tuition for their student in yr 3+ w/ no classes? What is that money for? Should be research funds!

Excited to have played a small role in a new work from @LacknerLabNU! We provide evidence that calcium binding by Num1 integrates the mitochondrial and nuclear positioning pathways in budding yeast. @MBoCjournal molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…

Happy Holidays from the Lackner Lab and our Petri Dish Angel! @LLLackner

We are so proud of Antoineen White for winning the @ISOatNU Annual Excellence in Leadership and Engagement Award 2020!!! We are happy her efforts as Chair and Co-founder of the Diversity in Biological Sciences (DiBS) Council within @IBiSatNU are being recognized.

Congratulations Michael!

Check out the latest review from the Lackner Lab: The multifunctional nature of mitochondrial contact site proteins. @LLLackner #mitochondria doi.org/10.1016/j.ceb.…

Mitochondrial fission and fusion are spatially coordinated at ER membrane contact sites, say Abrisch et al @CUBoulderMCDB @NorthwesternU bit.ly/2wahfbS @1robear27 @LLLackner @LacknerLabNU #mitochondria #ERLiterature

Abrisch et al show that fission and fusion machineries converge at #mitochondria-ER contact sites to provide a unified platform where fission and fusion are coordinated to balance mitochondrial dynamics and morphology bit.ly/2wahfbS @1robear27 @LLLackner @LacknerLabNU

Exciting work from Brett and our collaboration with @1robear27 and the Voeltz Lab!

Paczkis and king cake for our Mardi Gras lab meeting. Clare found the baby!

Great minds think alike! Clare and Heidi twinning today in the official Lackner Lab color!
