Enterobacteria phage P22 supervised by Jonathan King.^{[11][12][13][14][15]}

Aurora B kinase, Survivin and Borealin – a major regulator of mitosis and cytokinesis. His proteomic analysis of mitotic chromosomes continues to provide new insights into kinetochore composition and function. Earnshaw also developed the first system reproducing apoptotic execution in vitro, and used it to identify the first apoptotic caspase substrate.^[2]
