Tissue Morphodynamics Group

We're a diverse group of highly collaborative scientists and engineers passionate about uncovering how biology builds these beautiful tissues in mammals, birds, and reptiles. Positions available for postdocs, grad students, and techs -- come join us!

We asked you to vote your favourite 2024 @Dev_journal cover image, and the results are in! Congrats to @parahsaramore, @celestemnelson & co. for their image of embryonic mouse lungs 🫁 Find out about the 2nd and 3rd place: thenode.biologists.com/who-won-the-20…

This must be tweeted every Halloween. I don’t make the rules

This is (some of) us at #BMES2024. A mathematician, several physicists, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, bioengineers, biologists, and a music major! Embracing multidisciplinary research. ❤️🫁🐭🐓🦎🦀 @EPrinceton @BMESociety

Grateful and honored to be included amongst a long list of biomedical engineers in @BMESociety who have mentored us and inspired our work. Congratulations to all the new fellows! #BMES2024

BMES friends: Do we need free child care for trainees and pre-tenure faculty at BMES meetings? Informal poll this week = YES. Who wants to help me boot it up? So much young energy there - how can we make it easy for young parents? science.org/content/articl…

And Jasmine will be sharing work using microfluidic tumor models to understand how dietary composition affects tumor progression! #BMES2024

Our Science Superheroes are back this morning for the last day of #bmes2024! Kasey will be sharing some cool work using click chemistry to label nascent ECM in developing organs @BMESociety

So proud of the @EPrinceton student chapter of @BMESociety for their efforts on behalf of the local BME community. Kasey and Justine both have posters at #bmes2024 - check them out!

@asap_data Thanks! The honor reflects the work of all current and former members of the group. ☺️

Congrats @celestemnelson!

And @SamhitaB1 is at it again, sharing our group's efforts to uncover how fluid pressure influences epithelial differentiation in the developing lung! #BMES2024 @BMESociety

Eric and Evelyn are also sharing their latest findings on the role of mechanics in lung cell behavior at #BMES2024

Our Science Superheroes are out in full force at #BMES2024 again today! Check out the posters from two of our awesome undergrads, Nneka and Jordan! (Jordan is applying to grad school this year - she's amazing!)

Last but not least, @ctrenado_yuste and Maryam Kohram will share their latest breakthroughs in predicting cancer cell behavior #BMES2024. Hope to see you there!

And Chan Jin Park will be sharing his beautiful analysis of epithelial patterning in the lung 🐥🫁 #BMES2024

Also on Thursday at #BMES2024, @BezLemma will be sharing some awesome work on metabolism in the developing lung:

Our Science Superheroes are headed to #BMES2024! On Thursday, check out our latest work on 🐭🫁💪from @SamhitaB1 and @Pengfei47662640 in platform presentations:

Is there a Yelp for lab equipment? (Feeling a bit salty after a supplier broke their promise about a warranty on a PCR machine.)

Mark your calendar for the start of SEASON 6 🗓️🌟 Join us as we dive into cutting-edge topics: - A new model for morphogen diffusion with Gavin Schlissel 🐭 - Primordial germ cell migration with @katie_e_goodwin 🐭 🗓️ Oct 10, 12:30 EST / 18:30 CET / 16:30 UTC 🕥

Download freely our updated database of PhD fellowships. We found 189! For each entry, we provide a brief description, deadline, amount, and eligibility criteria. Find it here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op… Good luck!

For #FluorescenceFriday we’re highlighting @parahsaramore's image of embryonic #mouse lungs which is the @Dev_journal Issue 16 cover. The development over 3 days is shown as superimposed images highlighting the role of pulmonary mesenchyme. Read more here: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…
