Michael Lampson, PhD is a cell biologist at the University of Pennsylvania. His research group focuses on cell division, centromere function in the germline, and the cell biology of meiotic drive.

Scientists have solved a decade-long question about the mechanism that preserves the centromere, the hub that ensures DNA ...

Centromeres are vital chromosomal structures that ensure accurate genetic material distribution during cell division and contain rapidly evolving deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences, such as ...
