Overview

This book brings together a diverse and exciting group of emerging and leading experts in female meiosis, each contributing a chapter that summarizes seminal recent progresses in their area of specialty. With various meiosis topics ranging from cytoskeletal function in worms to studies of oocyte meiosis in large mammals, this collection is intended for fundamental cell biologists interested the basic mechanisms of cell division and differentiation.

Author Information

Binyam Mogessie studied Biochemistry and Cell Biology as an undergraduate at Jacobs University Bremen, Germany, and earned his Ph.D. in Cell Biology from the Institute of Cancer Research, University of London. He conducted postdoctoral research at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute in Göttingen, where he discovered novel functions of F-actin in chromosome segregation. In 2019, he established his independent research group at the University of Bristol as a Wellcome Trust and Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellow and HFSP Young Investigator. In 2022, he joined Yale University as an Assistant Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology & OBGYN. His lab investigates cytoskeletal organization and chromosome segregation mechanisms in mammalian oocytes, advancing fundamental understanding of female reproductive cell biology.
