My research activities will continue and exciting projects are ahead.

Personally, I seriously doubted a future in academia and its compatibility with family life after just missing out on a DFG Emmy Noether Grant at the final Interview stage in June, when our twins were just 5 months old. The long-term perspective of the new position brought back a lot of motivation.

I look forward to contribute my expertise in quantitative optical microscopy and biophysics to the interdisciplinary scope of Si-M to make an impact for the biomedicine of the future.

Very happy to share that starting in January, I will take on a new position as microscopic imaging facility leader and researcher at Der Simulierte Mensch (Si-M), a new joint institute by Charité and TUBerlin, which aims at advancing human model systems (e.g. organoids) for biomedical research.

Of course. Too tempting 😄 Looking forward to see more!

mStayRose is published in JBC 🥳🎉

Congratulations @wsctt.bsky.social @sporemohan.bsky.social and team for the monumental effort to make a non-natural amino acid incorporating fluorescent protein accessible. It's based on mStayGold, bright, and photostable:

Very nice, congratulations! I am sure you did try FCS on it!?

It has been great two days of scientific exchange at @picoquant.bsky.social 30th Single Molecule Workshop in Berlin #WS30. Looking forward to present a poster on in vivo applications of FCS tomorrow and a talk on fast, volumetric light-sheet FLIM in organoids on Friday!

Latest paper elifesciences.org/articles/107... closes an important cycle in our efforts to study regeneration: week-long recordings allow us to observe the behaviour of cells during the entire course of regeneration in a crustacean leg – bright objects in movie are fluorescent nuclei of cells. 1/6

Hello bsky :). Application still opened for an exciting @centuri-ls.bsky.social PhD project with C. Collinet combining AI and stochastic modeling to understand how living embryos rearrange their own shape! Project & application details here: centuri-livingsystems.org/application-... DL Jan 27th.

Delighted to share our last preprint!!! 🎉🎉🎉
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.11.627621v1

We share the first synthetic gene circuit guiding the self-organization of mammalian tissues in elongating structures by dynamically tuning growth, viscosity and adhesion.

Temporal projection of a microscopy time-lapse image. Membranes of the cells in zebrafish brain at 20 hpf are labelled. Time is colour coded.

How does nano-scale plasma membrane structure underpin tissue development?
Let’s find out!

Happy to have the Srinivas lab on Bluesky!

Even our embryos are starting to feel a little festive in the Srinivas lab! We are excited to share our new bioRχiv pre-print – investigating the role of calcium in the early embryo

Any more FFS/FCS Folks on bluesky? Where are you?

Time to correlate.

Please let me know who is on here and needs to be added.
