   Induction of tumor growth by altered stem-cell     asymmetric division in Drosophila melanogaster

Nature Genetics (2005)

      Control            Tumour (green)

Centrosome function during stem cell division: the devil is in the details.

Polyhomeotic tumor suppression activity through repression of Notch signaling.

          In colaboration with the Cavalli lab

Spindle alignment achieved without rotation after first cell cycle in embryonic neuroblasts.

Review on biased segregation of DNA and centrosomes.

Our goal is to understand the mechanisms of cell division. We apply a multidisciplinary approach that combines genetics, molecular biology and advanced in vivo microscopy.

We use Drosophila as well as cultured cells derived from vertebrates as model systems.

Current on-going projects include the study of the mechanisms of spindle assembly, the characterisation of new centrosomal proteins and the modelling of  cancer in Drosophila.
