Ahna Skop is known for her innovative research into the molecular mechanisms involved in cell division and for identifying links between the ways in which animal and plant cells divide. She encourages people to see the beauty in biology and has prepared a display of enlarged scientific images for the entry of her building on campus. Her research is visual—she captures live, florescent images of dividing cells, whose dynamic, colorful lines catch her artistic eye. Join us as Professor Skop shares the secrets of cell division, and helps us understand the mysteries of cytokinesis and how her research may one day improve treatments for diseases like cancer.
