A current project in my laboratory is investigating the mechanism and regulation of mitotic ER reorganization during cell division. It is unclear what factors are involved in reorganization of the ER and if these dramatic changes are cell cycle regulated? We will examine mitotic ER reorganization in the rapid divisions ...

Superconductivity in layered nickelatesUnconventional superconductivity in proximity to various strongly correlated phases has been a recurring theme in materials as diverse as heavy fermion compounds, cuprates, pnictides, and twisted bilayer graphene. Here we will discuss a growing family of layered nickelate superconductors. The initial discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates was motivated by ...

Learning without a brain - how a single cell processes informationCells show a range of complex behaviors which might normally associated with cognition, including basic forms of learning such as habituation. The giant single-celled ciliate Stentor coeruleus is a pond-dwelling organism that attaches to substrates like pond plants and filter feeds by means of a ring of cilia at one ...
