Lenka Halova

Lenka Halova is a Senior Scientific Officer at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, affiliated with the University of Manchester. Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms regulating cell division and cancer biology, particularly in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (fission yeast) and mammalian systems. Key areas include mitotic progression, cell cycle checkpoints, and the role of TOR signaling pathways in cell size control and cytokinesis.

Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through studies on cell cycle dysregulation in cancer contexts. She collaborates with the Manchester Cancer Research Centre and has published extensively on topics like Cdc2 kinase regulation, phosphatidylinositol kinases, and the molecular basis of cytokinesis fidelity.

Labs/Teams: Active within the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute and collaborates with interdisciplinary teams focusing on cell biology and oncology.
