Our new paper was just out. CRISPR screening with a CENP-C mutant reveals that KIF18A and CENP-E are coordinately involved in chromosome congression. Congrats, Jiahang Miao!! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Where do cancers start? In the liver, not all cells are the same. The liver is divided into 3 “zones,” and each specializes in different metabolic tasks. We show in @Science that where a mutation occurs in a liver lobule can determine a cell’s fate. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… (1/9)

6 years ago, Lizz took a leap of faith by moving across the country to join our new/empty lab as a research tech. She then became our 1st grad student, playing a big role in shaping our research directions and lab culture. Today she defended her PhD, and I couldn’t be more proud.

Defended! 🍾 Introducing Elizabeth Maurais, Ph.D. 🎉 Congrats on your successful #dissertationdefense. Dr. Maurais was joined by her mentor @PeterLyLab & other Ly Lab mates. Next stop: #postdoc!

📢 Excited to share that our study has just been published in @NatureComms! We uncover how CRL-DCAF12 regulates the cellular levels of MCMBP, a chaperone essential for assembling nascent MCM2-7 complexes, to ensure accurate and error-free genome duplication.

Thrilled to announce the launch of my lab @CRI_UTSW this January! We will explore how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, focusing on membrane mechanics to reveal how tension and signaling work together to shape cell behavior.

We're growing! Our newest Investigator @Henry_de_belly will join the CRI Tissue #Regeneration Program in January 2026. Learn more about Henry ➡️ cri.utsw.edu/faculty/henry-… and 📌apply to research in his lab cri.utsw.edu/careers #relentlessdiscovery
