This talk is an activity from the FEBS Junior Sections, an initiative set up by students and young researchers from some of the FEBS Constituent Societies. Each month a junior section from one of the participant Societies organizes an online event on either a research or a career topic. This September talk is an academic talk organised by HDBMB Young Scientists’ Forum, the junior section of the HDBMB.

ABSTRACT
Are all chromosomes equal during mitosis? Do they all segregate with the same accuracy? Does it matter where they come from? Dr. Tolić will discuss these topics and show how the chromosomes located behind the spindle pole reach the spindle midplane and how this unfavorable starting position puts them at risk of mis-segregation. These biased segregation errors may contribute to the distinct aneuploid karyotypes observed in cancers and during embryonic development.
