🚀 Are you planning to secure funding to start your own research group? (e.g. ERC, Emmy Noether, etc).
👨🔬Physics of Life can host you, and offers numerous benefits!
We are launching a new Program to host and support third-party funded junior groups.

I'm very happy to announce that the "From Postdoc to PI Session" will be sponsored by the @biologists.bsky.social and we will be offering a $$ Prize to the best talk, so now a twofer reason to apply! www.germanfishmeeting.org/from-postoc-... Let me know if you have any question/s! 🐟
Exciting news: I successfully defended my PhD thesis last week! I am extremely grateful to my supervisor Jan Brugués and @brugueslab.bsky.social for a wonderful scientific journey. 🎉🎉🎉

Now out in its final form! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Just published in @science.org 🚀
By controlling how cells align, we show that living nematic tissues can be programmed to generate forces and fold into predictable 3D shapes.
A new platform for tissue engineering and the design of smart active materials!

One of the most exciting discoveries from our lab so far is now online as a preprint!
Read a story on how the ParMR and Min systems started to collaborate to create the CorMR cytoskeleton, which now controls cell shape in multicellular cyanobacteria:

Bacteria, despite their diversity, use conserved cytoskeletal systems for their intracellular organization. In unicellular bacteria, the ParMRC DNA partitioning apparatus is well known for forming act...
New preprint out! We show how cellular nematic order can be harnessed to program tissue-wide force fields and guide 3D shape transformations.
The tissue morphogenesis logic, now engineered into living, programmable materials.
