For the past five years, Sweet and fellow graduate student Mat Bloomfield have worked with cell biologist Daniela Cimini to investigate cells carrying abnormal numbers of chromosomes, a common characteristic of cancer.

To study the consequences of these abnormalities, Cimini's team manipulated diploid cancer cells so they would duplicate their chromosomes without completing cell division.

The centrioles, which hoist the microtubules on which chromosomes are strung for mitosis, are similar separate creatures; when not busy with mitosis, they become the basal bodies to which cilia are attached.
