‌We are a highly interactive group of researchers who aim to understand cell division in eukaryotes at the molecular, cellular and organism level; to determine how its dysfunction leads to cancer, developmental defects, infertility and reproductive ageing; and to use this knowledge to develop new preventative and therapeutic strategies.

Themes:

• Regulation of mitosis and meiosis
• Structure and function of cell division proteins
• The interface between cell division and epigenetics
• Asymmetric cell division
• Drug discovery
• Telomeres, DNA replication and repair
