Happy to say that our paper “Cdc42 reactivation at growth sites is regulated by local cell-cycle-dependent loss of its GAP Rga4 in fission yeast, S. pombe” by Julie Rich-Robinson, Afton Russell, Eleanor Mancini, and Maitreyi E Das is now available in Journal of Cell Science, 2021; jcs.259291. doi: https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.259291

Welcome to graduate students Abigail Vickers and Justin McDuffie, the latest members of the Das lab. Wish you the very best!

The labs bids farewell to Dr. Brian Hercyk as he leaves to start his postdoctoral position in the lab of Dr. Joel Boerckel at University of Pennsylvania. Good luck Brian! We will miss you.

Our lab was awarded a 5 year NIH-NIGMS R01 grant (1R01GM136847-01) to research “Cell-cycle-dependent cell polarity control.

Woot! Woot! Maitreyi received a 5 year NSF CAREER award (#1941367) to investigate “Spatiotemporal organization of cytokinetic events”.
