Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Francis Crick Institute
Nobel laureate for the discovery of key regulators of the cell cycle

The Nurse lab investigates how the successive events of the cell cycle are coordinated and regulated, and how cells monitor and control their size. They use fission yeast as a model organism. (https://www.crick.ac.uk/research/labs/paul-nurse)

The group of Mar Albà works on unraveling the evolutionary processes that give rise to new proteins, with a special emphasis on proteins evolved from previously non-coding genomic regions or de novo.

Our lab studies the molecular mechanisms of DNA double-strand breaks repair by homologous recombination, with a special focus on meiosis, using the budding yeast S. cerevisiae as a model system.

My lab employs genetic and chemical and structural biology approaches in the model S. cerevisiae to reveal how the Target Of Rapamycin (TOR) signalling network regulates growth in eukaryote cells, and recently how it contributes to pathogenicity of the filamentous rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.

Our lab uses a combination of synthetic biology, directed evolution, and mathematical modeling to understand how multicellular organisms evolve from single-celled ancestors, using yeast as a model.

Anna Selmecki studies the dynamics and consequences of aneuploidy and polyploidy in fungi.

Our lab combines single-molecule RNA imaging techniques, molecular biology and yeast genetics, to investigate how the spatiotemporal control of gene expression influences fungal growth and differentiation.

Our lab studies the regulatory mechanisms that contribute to ensuring the complete and accurate duplication of a cell’s genetic information in every cell cycle, especially in the face of DNA damage. We are particularly interested in how posttranslational protein modifiers of the ubiquitin family, such as ubiquitin and SUMO, control genome maintenance pathways, and how they employ their versatile signalling capacity to regulate other cellular processes.

My lab is interested in understanding the principles and regulations governing gametogenesis/meiosis. Leveraging Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a primary model system, we study gametogenesis in two different frameworks: first, in the context of gene regulation, and second, in the context of aging, with the aim of understanding how gamete formation promotes cellular rejuvenation and eliminates age-associated damage.

Kevin Verstrepen’s team uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae to study the molecular principles underlying adaptation to varying environments. The lab exploits its expertise in evolution, ecology and molecular biology to generate superior industrial yeasts for the production of food, beverages, biofuels, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
