Events
O xoves 30 de abril de 2026, Dr. Nuria Ferrándiz Díaz (Centro de Investigación del Cáncer - Cancer Research Center-CIC, Salamanca) ofrecerá o seminario “Endomembranes in Cell Division: Connecting Organelle Dynamics and Genomic Stability" dentro do ciclo CINBIO Seminar Programme.
Será ás 11:00 horas na Sala de Seminarios de Torre CACTI.
SHORT BIO:
Eukaryotic cells rely on intracellular membranes to compartmentalise functions, but this organisation is extensively remodelled during mi-tosis. The nuclear envelope (NE) disassembles, and organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi reorganise, requiring tight coordination to ensure correct organelle inheritance and genomic stability. While chromosome and cytoskeletal dynamics are well characterised, how organelles are remodelled and segregated during division remains poorly understood. Our work investigates the spatiotemporal control of nuclear envelope and ER disassembly and reassembly, and how defects in these processes contribute to chromosome missegregation and micronuclei formation.
SHORT BIO:
Dr Ferrándiz is a cell and molecular biologist specialising in genomic instability and cell division. She earned her PhD at the University of Cantabria, where she studied signals that regulate cell proliferation. From 2010 to 2016, at Imperial College London, she investigated mechanisms ensuring accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis. As Senior Research Fellow at the University of Warwick (2017–2023) with Prof. Steven Royle, she expanded her work to explore aneuploidy in cancer, focusing on mitotic membrane dynamics. Since early 2024, she has been a Group Leader at the Centre for Research, studying organelle dynamics in cell division and their impact on genome integrity.
