معرفی
Dr. Mark Levasseur is an academic researcher affiliated with Newcastle University, focusing on cellular mechanisms governing meiosis and mitosis. His work emphasizes the molecular regulation of chromosome segregation, aneuploidy prevention, and calcium signaling during oocyte maturation. He has contributed extensively to understanding the roles of the Anaphase Promoting Complex (APC/C), CDK1 activity, and phosphatase systems in ensuring proper meiotic progression. His research spans from fundamental cell biology to clinical implications in fertility and cancer biology.
Key research interests include:
- Meiotic and mitotic checkpoint mechanisms
- Cyclin B1 and securin regulation
- Calcium signaling in fertilization
- APC/C substrate specificity
- Aneuploidy causes in oocytes
His publications reveal a focus on mouse and ascidian models to study developmental biology and reproductive processes. Recent work highlights novel insights into histone regulation during mitosis and the role of Aurora B in kinetochore stability. Dr. Levasseur collaborates with leading researchers in cell biology and reproductive medicine, contributing to both basic science and translational research.
