The European Research Council has just announced the list of the prestigious projects awarded under the Synergy Program. These are projects that bring together the most respected researchers across Europe and the world, those who have proven excellence in their…
At the 14th Multinational Congress on Microscopy in Belgrade, Serbia, Juraj Simunić accepted The European Microscopy Society Outstanding Paper Award in the category Life Sciences for our paper “The mitotic spindle is chiral due to torques within microtubule bundles”.…
Patrik Risteski, Mihaela Jagrić and Juraj Simunić attended the first European Summer Collaborative project at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) in Oeiras, Portugal. Together with Manuel Théry, Laurent Blanchoin, Susana Godinho, Ivo Telley, and Mónica Bettencourt-Dias labs they performed cell micropatterning and…
Our student, Martina Manenica was awarded the Rector’s award for her work called: Augmin-dependent nucleation of new microtubule bundles in mitotic spindle. Congratulations Martina!
The European Microscopy Society Outstanding Paper Award in the category Life Sciences goes to our paper “The mitotic spindle is chiral due to torques within microtubule bundles”. This is a great recognition for the work of our students and postdocs…
Iva received the “Award for an outstanding contribution to the development of molecular life sciences” from the Croatian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
A group of 26 students and three teachers from the Gustav Krklec primary school (Zagreb) visited our lab. Iva gave them a short talk about the recent discoveries in our lab after which they asked a great deal of…
Bruno sucessfully defended his PhD thesis “The role of bridging fibers in the architecture of the metaphase mitotic spindle”. He is the first PhD student from Iva’s group in Zagreb to finish his PhD. Bruno, we wish you luck with continuing your…
