Last Friday was Mike Bates’s last day. He started as an undergraduate in the lab while we were still at Upstate (2017) and stayed through graduation and with us for another year. We are going to miss him lots! And, to see him off we had a COVID safe and socially distant going away party at Thornden Park with individually wrapped snacks. Good luck Michael and we wish you all the luck with your next steps!
Congrats to Nikhila!
Nikhila passed her Qualifying exam! Congrats and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Keep your eyes peeled some cool stuff coming out of this Hehnly Lab Grad student in the next couple of months!
Big spot, little spot: How an asymmetric pair of mitotic centrosomes mediates early cell divisions in zebrafish
The latest Hehnly Lab preprint was featured by preLights! Check out the great write up by Maiko Kitaoka and Q&A with Lindsay Rathbun.

Check out our new Preprint!
The Hehnly Lab’s 1st preprint, led by Lindsay Rathbun with the help of many people including our graduate student Abrar Aljiboury and postbac Julie Manikas, along with Josh Bembenek’s laboratory (University of Michigan with X Bai from the NIH) and Jeff Amack’s laboratory (UPSTATE Medical School, Syracuse NY). We found some crazy large centrosomes in extremely large zebrafish embryo cells that scale with changes in cell size! We didn’t leave out C. elegans either. Check it out here:
Also check out a zebrafish embryo dividing cells! Microtubules (EMTB-GFP) on left and centrosomes (centrin-GFP) on right.
