Research summary
AI-generated

Gisela Cairo studies how cells divide their chromosomes accurately, focusing on meiosis (the specialized cell division that produces eggs and other reproductive cells) as well as mitosis (ordinary cell division). The research uses model organisms such as budding yeast and mouse eggs to investigate the molecular machinery that ensures chromosomes are correctly attached and separated, including proteins like Aurora B kinase, MOS, and cell-cycle regulators. Errors in these processes are linked to abnormal cell divisions and tumor formation.
