In mid-July, our school hosted the annual summer camp, a key student recruitment event for our graduate program. This tradition has become an essential platform for connecting our school with prospective graduate students, enabling them to explore our research, faculty, environment, activities, and student life. This year’s summer camp saw around 200 promising candidates in […]
On May 10th 2023, our laboratory celebrated two outstanding achievements as Amanda and June successfully defended their theses. Amanda (Zhang Qian) has become the first PhD from our lab at ShanghaiTech. She impressed us with her work on the regulation of Dpp signalling by the cell cycle regulator APC/C-SnoN, and on the role of Spd2 […]
We are thrilled to share that our lab members recently attended the China Society of Cell Biology (CSCB) Meeting held in Suzhou from April 11th-14th, 2023. This was not only a great opportunity for us to share our latest research findings, but also the first event we have been able to attend since the beginning […]
We are excited to share our recent paper published in EMBO Reports on the regulation of centrosome asymmetry in Drosophila neural stem cells. Centrosomes play a critical role in the development and physiology of animals, and our study sheds light on the role of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis in the precise regulation of centriole duplication and beyond. […]
2021 Luke lab intro Today labs in our school gave lab introductions to newly enrolled graduate students for them to get to know about the research in each lab. In our turn, the master student Luke gave an amazingly provocative talk and inspired the students. It certainly got an attention of the students, but whether […]
We were gladly informed that we will be awarded a Mianshang (面上）grant from the National Natural Science Foundation of China （国家自然科学基金委员会，NSFC）. This is our first national grant after we moved to China. Yuu, in particular, was very happy obtaining his first NSFC grant. We went to the buffet restaurant in the hotel nearby for our […]
We published a new paper titled “The careful control of Polo kinase byAPC/C-Ube2C ensures the intercellulartransport of germline centrosomes during Drosophila oogenesis” on the journal, Open Biology. It took us a while to publish this paper, partly due to the lab relocation, as well as Covid-19. However, we finally managed to publish it. We are […]
Our lab’s first undergraduate member, Burty, has finished his study at ShanghaiTech and today he attended a graduation ceremony. Yuu attended the ceremony to celebrate his graduation and later we took photos in our lab, with Amanda, who mainly supervised him in his daily lab work in his final project. From this September Burty is […]
Yesterday, our senior lab member, Luke (Rusong Ding, 3rd year M.Phil) took Yuu’s position to give an introduction of our research to newly enrolled graduate students in the laboratory introduction session. Luke gave an amazing presentation, passionate and inspiring, which caught the hearts of many newly arrived students. Thanks to his presentation, the highest number […]
Yuu were invited to give an online lecture at Hiroshima Research Center for Healthy Aging (HiHA) at Hiroshima University. It was the first time for me to give a seminar in Japanese for the last 10 or more years. But at the end it went well and was a great fun. Thank the host, Prof. […]
