Udo Onwubiko, a graduate student in the Das lab, won a poster award at the 2019 International Pombe meeting at Barcelona, Spain. The title of the poster was ” Cdc42 GEF, Gef1 regulates Rho1 activation during cytokinesis”. The award was presented by nobel laureate Paul Nurse.
Udo’s research focuses on understanding how different steps during cytokinesis–the final step in cell division–are properly organized and she is investigating the crosstalk between different signaling pathways to decipher this.
