During Mitosis: A pathway for cellular diversity

11:00am - 12:00pm      BioMed 200

Join us for a public talk & discussion about: 

Blake Riggs, PhD

Assistant Professor  

Department of Cell and Molecular Biology

San Francisco State University 

UC Santa Cruz AlumThe Riggs lab examines the role of intracellular membrane in mitotic events including bipolar spindle assembly, chromosome segregation, and cytokinesis.  We use the model organism, the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster for in vivo cellular imaging and genetic analysis.

The molecular mechanisms underlying partitioning of

the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Investigating the asymmetrical division of the ER in the

anterior population of cells, the relationship with a

highly conserved membrane protein Jagunal, and a link

between ER distribution and the establishment of cell

fate
