Excited to share our latest review on biomechanical forces shape endothelial plasticity and morphogenesis! We delve into dynamic feedback between mechanical cues & molecular pathways that drive two key processes: endothelial-to-hematopoietic & -mesenchymal transition.

6/6 Finally, if you are/know someone interested in graduate opportunities in an exciting department & a vibrant, multicultural city, and passionate about science, reach out! We will be recruiting for the 2026 grad student cycle at U of T to study cardiovascular morphogenesis and fate determination!

3/6 Building on the momentum of our work in MΓΌnster, we aim to further uncover how the heart and the vasculature take shapeβ€”probing how dynamic forces from the extracellular matrix and blood flow influence cardiovascular cell fate and tissue morphogenesis.
