Combining this with various cancer models will reveal when and where certain levels
of chromosome segregation errors impact organismal health and tumor development.
«Our work doesn't contradict that idea, but shows the existence of another problem: defects in the microtubules, which cause defective spindles and in doing so seem to contribute to a specific
type of chromosome segregation error» asserted Professor FitzHarris.
His research interests are the mechanisms and
regulation of chromosome segregation during mitotic cell division, and the development of software tools for accessing, processing, sharing, and publishing large scientific image datasets.
