Members of my Lab	Sean Williams
Associates/Collaborators	Richard A. Heil-Chapdelaine

Keywords	cytokinesis microtubules mitosis nuclear migration cell cycle checkpoint

Research Topics	Cell cycle Cytoskeleton and molecular motors

Research Interests	My area of interest is the regulation of cell division. My lab is currently studying 1) a cell cycle checkpoint that acts late in mitosis, and 2) the mechanisms underlying nuclear migration and spindle positioning. The cell cycle checkpoint, called the "spindle position checkpoint", responds to mispositioned spindles and delays exit from mitosis until the spindle position is corrected. We are using a variety of approaches to study these processes, primarily molecular genetics and cell biology.
