Oegema / Desai Labs

We are very excited to present our work at #CellBio2025! Mark your calendars and check out some fantastic posters from our lab members @nehavarshney.bsky.social @aleesaschlientz.bsky.social @dorinehintzen.bsky.social & @jiaweixu.bsky.social. Looking forward to reconnecting with the #ASCB community!

How do species remain distinct? Our recent collaboration with the Rifkin Lab discovered a new hybrid incompatibility between Caenorhabditis species that results in defects in the first cell division, like irregular spindles! We show how subtle changes in cell biology can reinforce species barriers.

It was a pleasure to participate in this year's Salk #CellCycle2025 meeting and share our recent work by Johnathan Meaders, Sam Altshuler, and @beatascienceart.bsky.social. Special thanks to Arshad for co-organizing the meeting and Beata for creating the artwork. Looking forward to next time!

The Oegema/Desai labs are heading to #Worm25! Mark your calendars and check out the talks/posters from our current lab members @greenbeegreen.bsky.social @nehavarshney.bsky.social @aleesaschlientz.bsky.social and Wanying Tian!

We couldn't be more excited to present our work at #CellBio2024! Mark your calendars for these talks/posters by our current lab members and recent alumni, including @aleesaschlientz.bsky.social @beatascienceart.bsky.social @nehavarshney.bsky.social & @jiaweixu.bsky.social. Looking forward to it!
