Welcome to Simon Chan's Lab, in the [http://www-plb.ucdavis.edu/index.html Department of Plant Biology] at [http://www.ucdavis.edu/ UC Davis].<br>
[http://www-plb.ucdavis.edu/ Department of Plant Biology], [http://www.ucdavis.edu/ UC Davis] and [http://www.hhmi.org HHMI]
We study chromosome inheritance during cell division using the small flowering plant <i>[http://www.arabidopsis.org/portals/education/aboutarabidopsis.jsp Arabidopsis thaliana]</i>.
All organisms must pass an intact genome onto their progeny, so we are interested how chromosomes are faithfully inherited when cells divide. The centromere is the position on a chromosome where it attaches to the mitotic spindle, facilitating correct segregation. We study chromosome properties that specify centromere location and function.
'''Welcome to Simon Chan's Lab'''
<br>
We have two major areas of study
<br>
'''With deep regret we inform you that Simon Chan (1974-2012) has passed away on Aug 22nd at an age of 38 '''<br>
Where: Alpha Gamma Rho Hall, Buehler Alumni Center, UC Davis.<br>
Mrak Hall Drive and Old Davis Rd<br>
