🚨 Job Alert: we seek a Lab Manager for @juliabatki.bsky.social's new group (start Mar 2026), which will study cell fate regulation during organ development. Join the Batki's group to drive experiments & lab operations! Apply at: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...

🥳 Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint, led by our talented postdoc Justine Creff! 👩🏻‍🔬 We tackled a fundamental question: how the epithelium withstands mechanical stress at the interface of cells with distinct geometries and mechanics, such as enterocytes (E) and goblet cells (G) (1/9)

Are material phase transitions more than simple regulators of tissue deformability? Check our latest work uncovering that rigidity transitions can trigger cell polarity! Congratulations to @laura-rustarazo.bsky.social , @crisp-c.bsky.social and Adrián for leading this work!

We’re looking for PhD students to join the lab! 🧫🧑‍🔬
Curious about how metabolic processes shape patterning and morphogenesis? Enthusiastic about stem cell models for human development? - Then apply through the VBC PhD program! training.vbc.ac.at/phd-program/

Ever wondered how the gut changes during pregnancy and lactation? Check out this new work by Tomo Ameku, @irenemiguel-aliaga.bsky.social lab and co-authors. Happy that we could contribute to this beautiful story using the organoid system ☺️

Micro Immune Response On-chip (MIRO) models the tumour-stroma interface for immunotherapy testing - Nature Communications Modelling the tumour immune microenvironment in vitro is a valuable tool to test immunotherapy efficiency but capturing its complexity is challenging. Here authors present a fully humanised in vitro p...

Finally out! 🎉 Really happy to share my first co-author paper!

It was wonderful to work with @aliperri.bsky.social , and huge thanks to @xaviertrepat.bsky.social for the opportunity to be part of this project. Grateful to the whole team for making this happen!

Thanks a lot, Marija ☺️

I am very excited to share our most recent work on how ‘Cell heterogeneity and fate bistability drive tissue patterning during intestinal regeneration’ ☺️ Thanks a lot to @silviabarbiero.bsky.social @davidbrueckner.bsky.social @priscaliberali.bsky.social
@ehannezo.bsky.social and all the co-authors!

Excited to share the first paper from my lab 🤩 - a great collaboration with Dani Fachinetti lab - we discover a #mechanosensitive nuclear envelope #checkpoint that arrests cells directly post chromosome mis-segregation rdcu.be/d5AC9 👇🧵 #cancer #mechanics #p53 #chromatin

Proud to share our paper on the impact of transcription inhibition on mRNA export in cancer.
A big thanks to collaborators, especially to Ewa Michalak, Vi Wickramasinghe, Jeff Chao and Mark Dawson @mafdawson.bsky.social. @fmiscience.bsky.social

Have you ever wondered how cell heterogeneity can regulate tissue patterning and how such patterns are maintained? Then come to my talk at the ASCB meeting #cellbio2024 this Sunday afternoon ☺️
