Excited to share our newest work! We asked whether RNA molecules need to be in a specific place in the cell to do their job. We found that a single RNA must reach the midbody, the structure that pinches two dividing cells apart, for cell division to finish efficiently. 🧵⬇️

We waited 1.5 years to write the grant, get the money, buy the confocal, and get it!
This week, we have installed the confocal in the lab. Thanks to @the.3i.social and their amazing team, including Sam, Andrew, Daniel, and Leo to make it happen.
We are grateful to CFI and UBC for the funding.
