Some students just need the right support to take the next step in science. The Hubrecht Talent Program supports motivated BSc students from underrepresented backgrounds at Dutch universities. More info: hubrecht.eu/about-us/hub... Please share with students who might fit!

I'm excited to share our work on the regulation of endomitosis in worm intestines: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We find that cells are able to uncouple nuclear division from cell division by transcriptional repression of key cytokinesis regulators

Transcriptional repression of central spindle factors controls endomitosis in the C. elegans intestine

During development, many cell types transition from canonical to non-canonical cell cycles, suchas endomitosis and endoreplication, in which they duplicate their DNA but do not divide, giving rise to ...

It's possible to apply for the Hubrecht Talent Program again! The HTP aims to promote scientific excellence in the Netherlands by supporting talented minority students in pursuing a career in scientific research. Read more in the flyer and on www.hubrecht.eu/about-us/hub...

We challenged our researchers to describe their work in 10 words or less. See how they did in this video!
