ABSTRACT Prachee Avasthi studied Molecular and Integrative Physiology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She received her PhD in neuroscience in 2009 from the lab of Wolfgang Baehr at the University of Utah for her work on the control of membrane protein trafficking in photoreceptors. Prachee then moved to Wallace Marshall's group at the University of California, San Francisco, for her postdoc, where she studied ciliary assembly and the regulation of ciliary length. She set up her lab at the University of Kansas Medical Center in 2015, and relocated to the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth in 2020, where she is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Her group investigates the biogenesis of cilia and the coordination of actin- and microtubule-based trafficking.

ABSTRACT Stefanie Redemann studied Biology at Darmstadt Technical University, followed by a Master's at EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany. She then pursued a PhD in the labs of Tony Hyman and Jonathon Howard at the Max Planck Institute of Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, where she investigated the role of the actomyosin cortex in force generation and spindle positioning. After obtaining her doctorate degree in 2009, she joined the lab of Thomas Müller-Reichert at the Medical Theoretical Center in Dresden to work on reconstructing the mitotic spindle using electron tomography. Stefanie started her independent research group in 2018 at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, where she is using interdisciplinary approaches to study spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in both mitosis and meiosis.

ABSTRACTA dynamic pattern of histone methylation and demethylation controls gene expression during development, with some processes such as formation of the zygote involving large-scale reprogramming of methylation states. A new paper in Development investigates how inherited histone methylation regulates developmental timing and the germline/soma distinction in Caenorhabditis elegans. To hear more about the story we caught up with first author and postdoctoral researcher Brandon Carpenter, and his supervisor David Katz, Associate Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.
