We investigate how mechanical interactions between neurons and their environment contribute to CNS development and disorder. @Cambridge_Uni @MPZ_PhysMed @UniFAU


Fascinating discussions yesterday at the 2026 Spring Meeting of the German Physical Society (DPG) in Dresden. Thanks to @Franze_Lab for the invitation to speak about tissue mechanics. Our 3D prints of crocodile embryos sparked a lot of curiosity among researchers and students.

@EMBO @ERC_Research @dfg_public @tudresden_de and of course! Big and special thanks to @Franze_Lab for the continued support and this nomination 🙏🏼🐸

Jochen Guck just passed away. He was not only a brilliant mind, amazing researcher, and outstanding person — he was also one of the best friends one could ever have. Jochen, you will be missed so deeply. Your spirit and laughter will stay in our hearts forever.

Now that we have polished it a bit, we are excited to share our new preprint with you "Local optogenetic NMYII activation within the zebrafish neural rod results in long range, asymmetric force propagation" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our latest work on an image analysis paradigm that combines cell state and morphology analyses of patient biopsies at single cell resolution to uncover clinically relevant head-and-neck #cancer phenotypes! @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/… tweetorial👇

Hey #Xenopus enthusiasts, my lab at Pitt is looking to recruit a Ph.D. student through our Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program to continue our work on how allotetraploidy has shaped gene expression during early development! Please spread the word! @frogwranglers
