So much fun working on this project, thank you @centriolelab.bsky.social and @dudinlab.bsky.social for embarking me on this one!
Hopefully HAK-actin will become your best companion for actin staining U-ExM expanded samples.
My recent postdoctoral work is out today in @nature.com! We found that physical confinement makes melanoma cells more invasive and drug tolerant. Thanks to all who made this work possible @whitefishlab.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social #NIH #NCI www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We've developed a single-molecule imaging approach to study how #influenza A viruses interact with live cells at the nanoscale. We found that cellular receptors show a specific organization and turnover at the virus-cell interface. π www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In developing embryos, cells move a lot! Plenty of that movement is random. Is random cell mixing a feature or bug for tissue patterning? Turns out, itβs both! Excited to share the 1st preprint from my postdoc w/ Sean Megason @seanemcgeary.bsky.social and Allon Klein. 1/20 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
