Aussie Suzuki is an Assistant Professor in the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, focusing on oncology. His research investigates the mechanisms underlying accurate chromosome segregation during cell division, especially the role of the kinetochore in maintaining genome stability. Suzuki's lab studies how the Ndc80 complex contributes to mitotic checkpoint control and the production of forces necessary for correct chromosome alignment. The lab employs advanced techniques such as FRET-based tension biosensors, super-resolution microscopy, and immuno-electron microscopy to explore kinetochore mechanics and their implications in cancer development. His findings emphasize the significance of aneuploidy in solid and blood tumors and investigate the functions of kinetochore proteins in cancer progression.
