February 17鈥擟ongratulations to Prof. Amy Ikui on her recent publication titled 鈥淐dc6 is sequentially regulated by PP2A-Cdc55, Cdc14, and Sic1 for origin licensing in S. cerevisiae鈥� published in . Prof. Ikui’s laboratory studies DNA replication and cell division using S. cerevisae as a model system, with the goal of understanding the molecular mechanism of cell growth control. She aims to understand how cell cycle misregulation is linked to genome instability, which is relevant to tumorigenesis and cancer in higher eukaryotes. Also involved in this work is Dr. Jasmin Philip 鈥� a graduate student at the CUNY Graduate Center who successfully defended her Ph.D. in Biochemistry.
