Batch Securin: A Novel Key to Stability

By: Jessica Agustin (Securin)

Hesitant to be a part of an organization at first, my decision to join GeneSoc was a big and crucial step, and it was the biggest and most crucial step I took that I would never regret. It was life changing for me because GeneSoc made me realize that I can do more than what I have expected from myself. Joining the organization also made me appreciate the science of genetics and made me realize that genetics is important in our daily lives.

Jessica Agustin
A war-maiden, equipped with all weapons of sorts. Her mind, like a bow and arrow, hitting targets with full accuracy and precision even at a vast field with strong winds. Her words, as a lance, piercing everyone’s core. And her heart, as her golden armor, shining brightly and radiates warmth even in the coldest, darkest night. Making everyone comfortable around her is one of Jessica’s skills, though it is masked out by her shyness and quiet voice.

She likes adventure and taking random pictures of what she sees on her daily routine. Playing instruments, reading books, watching the sun set, and being with her family gives her comfort. Her determination to do everything has successfully gained her the impression of being hardworking and dedicated. Failures can be a hurdle for her, she dwells on them. But once she gets back up on her feet, she’s more focused than ever before.

Jessica is very particular with whom she associates herself with. Unless an event calls for her frankness, she still prefers to observe, listen, and hide from everyone’s attention. She never sugarcoats, and her candidness is and will always be her way of expressing her love and concern.

About the Batch Name
Securin is a multifunctional protein that play a key role in maintaining chromosome stability, DNA repair and mitotic regulation, specifically in the Metaphase–Anaphase transition. It forms a complex with another key protein, Separase, which cleaves the cohesin rings that hold the sister chromatids together. It was discovered almost 20 years ago, but it is only recently that its molecular structure and interaction with other proteins have been elucidated.
