We are a research group in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at UC Berkeley. Our lab uses Xenopus egg extracts to reconstitute key mitotic events, including chromosome condensation and spindle assembly, in vitro. By combining biochemical, cell biological, and evolutionary approaches, we aim to uncover the molecular principles governing spindle architecture, size control, and genomic stability.
