Woolner Lab

We’re looking for a PhD student to join our team: findaphd.com/phds/project/b…

The localisation of the mitotic spindle orientation protein, NuMA, is highly dynamic and sensitive to tissue stretch. Frogs are also great for live imaging 🐸 Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our new preprint on bioRxiv. We show that NuMA localisation is sensitive to tissue stretch and acts to fine-tune division orientation. Mitotic spindle orientation and dynamics are fine-tuned by anisotropic tissue stretch via NuMA localisation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Baby you’re a fiiiiirework!!! Explanted Xenopus neural crest cell, microtubules (green) and actin (magenta). Imaging in frogs rocks- this is done room temp, no incubation, no problem. 🐸🔬✨ By Micaela Lasser, Helen Willsey @goodfrognosis Lab @zeiss_micro LSM980 fast airyscan

Now online at Bull. Math. Bio. doi.org/10.1007/s11538…

Come join the Manchester Xenopus community: the Dorey lab are recruiting a Research Associate to study the response of neural progenitor cells to spinal cord injury. jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

We are thrilled to announce that our @wellcometrust application to establish a Discovery Research Platform for Cell-Matrix Biology @OfficialUoM was successful! 🎉 Here’s what to expect #cellmatrixbiology 👇 (thread)

Interested in how mechanical forces regulate cells and tissues? We're looking for a postdoc, ideally with experience in proteomics, to join us in the Woolner lab. jobs.manchester.ac.uk/displayjob.asp…

Thanks @YanlanMao for setting up this petition. Age limits on fellowships/grants are stifling and can prevent the best research being funded. Remove academic age limits on ERC grants - Sign the Petition! chng.it/9SLy7pNf via @UKChange

@godinho_susana Congratulations Susana! We can celebrate in Manchester in a couple of months! 🥂

I love predictions, but I would have never predicted that I would learn about my promotion to Professor while on the tube (Euston station for accuracy) and that I would be celebrating alone at Heathrow Terminal 5 😅! Lots of emotions right now …

Post-doc position available modelling epithelial mechanics, closing date 19 Sept 2022 jobs.ac.uk/job/CSR834/res… @LabWoolner @ManUniMaths

🚨 Application deadline *tomorrow* for a postdoc with me @mathsatshefuni @shefmathbio on modelling tissue patterning - please consider applying, or forwarding on to anyone who might be interested! jobs.ac.uk/job/CQL924/res…

@FBMH_SR @SocialResponUoM @OfficialUoM @LabWoolner had such a fun time at the UoM Community Festival talking about Frogs, Maths and Microscopes.

And we are off #communityfest @OfficialUoM it’s not too late, come & join us … @SocialResponUoM

Biggest story on the front page of the Financial Times. Rightly. UK commits scientific, business and cultural suicide.

New pre-print alert from the Miller lab @UMich_MCDB 🎉 Grad student @ShahanaChumki1 shows how Rho-mediated junction remodeling is regulated in developing epithelia. Check it out! 🐸👀🔥

@JezCarlton @Official_BSCB Congratulations Jez!

Well, this is pretty special! Thanks so much @Official_BSCB, super-chuffed to receive this!

@Poppi62 Congratulations Andreas! So well deserved, can't wait to see the medal!

Roberto @mayor_lab zooms in after his talk this morning to help out with some neural crest explants!

@cshlxeno I really enjoyed seeing you all, albeit remotely. Loved all the questions. Just wish I could have been there in-person but covid had other ideas.

Started the day off with a fantastic lecture by Sarah Woolner @LabWoolner Stoked to check out some animal caps later today!
