Feature Article in The Biochemist for Pichaud Lab

model of evolution of human eye

Among the many eyes that have evolved on Earth, the insect compound eye is the most abundant. Its crystal-like lattice structure is a feat of engineering that has evolved over millions of years, and is exquisitely adapted to detect moving objects and discriminate colours. This enables many behaviours, including foraging for food, finding a mate and avoiding predators.

Splitting to differentiate | New Dev Cell publication for Paluch Lab

In the early embryo, cells change fate from a pluripotent state where they have the potential to become any cell type, towards more and more specialised cell types. One such fate transition is exit from naive pluripotency, when cells become receptive to differentiation signals; at the same time, cells rapidly divide to proliferate and increase the size of the embryo.

New publication in Nature for Baum lab

Immunostaining in yeast cells

As eukaryotic cells divide, the nucleus must be remodelled into two distinct compartments, each encapsulating a single copy of the genome. Eukaryotes have evolved a bewildering range of strategies to achieve this - at one extreme, by disassembling the entire structure as cells begin to divide and reassembling it once division is almost complete.

New publication in Science for Baum lab

cell division immunostaining
Many archaea use ESCRT-III to divide, but how is it controlled? In a ,Ìý³Ù³ó±ðÌýBaum lab shows that the proteasome, which is conserved in both eukaryotes and archaea, is key to the process.
