What is happening in and around the lab
Ruby graduates!
Congratulations to Ruby Schnirman, long-time lab undergrad (and most recently the part-time technician), who graduated earlier this month with a degree in Biological Sciences with Research Honors. While in the lab, she studied neural crest cell development and completed a senior thesis entitled “A role for the transcription factor cdx4 in trunk neural crest specification”. Ruby will be sorely missed as she departs for her new job as a post-baccalaureate fellow at the NIH, where she will be working in Dr. Terry Yamaguchi’s lab.
Preprint of Notch paper released on bioRxiv
A preprint of work done by Dr. Claudia Linker’s lab at King’s College London in collaboration with former Prince lab graduate student, Dr. Manny Rocha, is now available on bioRxiv! In the paper, “Notch controls the cell cycle to define leader versus follower identities during collective cell migration”, they describe their findings concerning how trunk neural crest migratory behaviors in the zebrafish are defined by the interaction of Notch signaling and cell cycle progression.

Ruby presents at the Chicago Society of Neuroscience Annual Meeting
4th year undergrad Ruby Schnirman presented a poster of her work on Cdx4 at the Chicago Society for Neuroscience 2021 Annual Meeting earlier this month. Hear her explain her poster, entitled “Investigating a role for cdx4 in trunk neural crest specification”, in the video below or on our Research page!
