معرفی
Professor Jonathan Higgins is a leading academic at Newcastle University, specializing in cell biology with a focus on mitotic mechanisms, histone modifications, and kinase signaling networks. His extensive research spans over two decades, addressing fundamental questions in cell cycle regulation, chromosome segregation, and cancer biology. He has collaborated extensively with researchers including Dr. Tyrell Cartwright, Dr. Mark Levasseur, and Dr. Rebecca Harris, producing impactful work on mitotic kinases like Haspin and Aurora B.
His research explores how histone modifications regulate mitotic progression, including roles of phosphorylation events in chromatin structure and segregation accuracy. Recent work has delved into the robustness of live-cell imaging techniques and the development of kinase inhibitors for studying cellular processes. Notable themes include the interplay between CDK1 activity, histone phosphorylation, and aneuploidy prevention in oocytes.
Despite prolific publication in top journals, no scientific awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts. His work frequently bridges basic science and translational research, particularly in cancer biology contexts. No grants or labs are detailed in the current data, though his collaborative projects suggest involvement in multidisciplinary teams.
