Biography

Dr. Marcin Przewloka is a Lecturer in Molecular Cell Biology at the University of Southampton, UK. His research interests encompass the control of mitotic cell division and chromosome biology, focusing on centromere and kinetochore function and the proper segregation of chromosomes. Dr. Przewloka’s studies emphasize the involvement of post-translational modifications in protein regulation during the cell cycle, as well as the biological roles of multi-protein complexes in cell biology. He is particularly interested in the mechanisms governing chromosome condensation and accurate segregation, which are crucial for maintaining genomic integrity and preventing aneuploidy and chromosomal instability, known hallmarks of cancer cells. His research addresses the composition and regulation of kinetochores at the early stages of mitosis, exploring protein interaction networks that adapt to the changing environment at the chromosome-microtubule interface. Through an integrated and multidisciplinary approach, he aims to gain insights into fundamental cellular processes that impact both health and disease.
