I'm recruiting a PhD student to join the lab at @gtsciences.bsky.social in Fall 2026! Broad taxonomic and topical freedom under the umbrella of vertebrate joint form and function. Information here: www.manafzadeh.com – please share 🦴🩻
New paper out in Pediatric Research! We found that feeding in infant pigs raised on a ducted, biomimetic nipple more closely resembled the mechanics of breastfeeding, and that differences in nipple design impacted milk acquisition and overall feeding performance 🐷🍼

Our new paper led by recent lab alumni Hannah Shideler and postdoc Elska Kaczmarek is out in ICB @sicbjournals.bsky.social! For the first time ever, we reconstructed the volume of the oral cavity during suckling, and found that nipple design impacts tongue function.

The Mayerl Lab at NAU is looking to recruit a PhD student for Fall 2026! We take an integrative approach that bridges engineering, clinical, and evolutionary approaches to study feeding physiology of vertebrates. Our lab website is linked in our bio, and feel free to reach out on here or via email.

Our paper reviewing the neurophysiology of swallowing just came out! We detail 70 years of progress towards understanding neuromotor functioning in feeding, and highlight several emerging technologies for the future

We finally made the leap to Bluesky! In the lab, we study links between morphology, physiology, and performance. We take an interdisciplinary approach that bridges both clinical and evolutionary perspectives.
