LAB OF CELL CYCLE AND DIVISION

Department of Biology
University of Crete
Heraklion
Greece

Scope

Our lab’s scientific goal is to understand how human cells successfully divide to produce genetically identical daughter cells. Because errors in cell division can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation which is associated with tumor formation or progression, investigating the mechanisms of cell division will help us understand the origins of tumorigenesis and potentially identify novel molecular targets for cancer therapy.
