Onur Şen - PhD Student “After graduating in molecular biology from the Middle East Technical University in Turkey I completed an MSc course on cancer biology at The University of Manchester. My PhD study at Edinburgh focuses on the mitotic checkpoint complex assembly in the fission yeast spindle checkpoint.”
Alicja Sochaj - SULSA PhD Student “I graduated in Applied Biotechnology from the Agriculture University and completed Postgraduate Studies in Molecular Biology at the Jagiellonian University, both in Krakow (Poland). My PhD studies are focused on the link between Aurora B kinase and the spindle checkpoint machinery.”
Sjaak van der Sar - Research Associate“Since graduating in Molecular Biology (BSc & MSc) in 2001 at Wageningen University, the Netherlands, I have worked at the Roslin Institute and Stem Cell Sciences Ltd. in Edinburgh. From epigenetics to mouse and human stem cell biology, I now work on Mad3 and its function in the mitotic spindle checkpoint.”

Ivan Yuan - PhD Student “I read Natural Sciences at St Catharine's College, University of Cambridge, where I studied cell cycle regulation by Cdc25 phosphatases. I now work on constructing a synthetic scaffold (binding platform) for the components of spindle assembly checkpoint, with the aim of better understanding their assembly and function.”
Judith Zich - Wellcome Trust PhD Student “After receiving my diploma in Biology (technically oriented) from the University of Stuttgart (Germany) in 2005 I moved to Edinburgh. During my PhD I am studying the role of the Mph1 kinase in the spindle checkpoint in fission yeast.”
