Our new 15 minute COVID19 test! 1 drop of blood and results visually determined. We can't wait to get this into the hands of people who really need it. Reagent Genie Laura Lynott @MacFhearraigh Leo Varadkar Gary Vaynerchuk Tom Hanks Irish Independent #COVID19 #Covid_19SA #Covid_19india

Anyone with any interest in organoids / organ-on-a-chip / awesome science needs to register for this Symposium next week! Thank you so much Naveed Tavakol, PhD and Pam Graney, PhD putting together this programme of amazing speakers 👏👏

Vaccines usually take over 10 years to develop, test, and mass produce. But, scientists predict we could have an effective vaccine for Covid-19 by early 2021. How is this possible? They’re betting on a new vaccine strategy. If successful, it could be transformative. A thread.

Very excited to see the our paper on ‘Organoid Arrays’ featured on the cover! nature.com/articles/s4155…

This Nature Materials study from EPFL introduced a 3D bioprinting concept that used #organoid-forming stem cells as building blocks that could be deposited directly into #ExtracellularMatrices conducive to spontaneous self-organization. 📚 go.nature.com/3kOM4XF

Glad to have contributed to this work led by @hiten_iitk. One major hurdle in bioprinting with GelMA is its physical crosslinking below temp 30C. We have overcome this issue by tuning its synthesis process and applied it for rapid SLA bioprinting of neural and skin tissue.

📣A major breakthrough in the fight against #COVID19 An international team of scientists - led Bristol Biochemistry School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine🏳️‍🌈😷 - has potentially identified what makes SARS-CoV-2 highly infectious and able to spread rapidly in human cells bit.ly/31psrOw #Neuropilin

The biological and physical properties of tumors contribute to their growth and to treatment outcome. A new #SciMagReview looks at the physical features that are common to tumors and that limit successful treatment: ($) fcld.ly/hbrn5gu #Cancer

We did it, Joe Biden.

~5 years of my 1st author PhD work on cell migration on viscoelastic substrates is out in Nature Materials. Thanks to our team including David Odde,Jay Hou,ShenoyLab,@ZeGongGreg. Check it out: rdcu.be/ciYgZ. Please cite. #viscoelasticity #cellmigration #filopodia

Big congratulations to our abstract prize winners Tiarne van de Walle , Alessandro Mega Kabilan Sakthivel and Emmanuel Nwadozi! Keep up the great work!
