Exciting research from @RFG_Lab: uoft.me/9lD Scientists uncover a new mechanism governing heart development in fruit fly embryos. By studying cardiac progenitors, they reveal the role of cell oscillations and the protein myosin in shaping the early heart tube.

Excited to have coorganized this program (and associated conference) with DAPHNE KLOTSA, Cristina Marchetti, and Anton Souslov! Apply at the link here!

It turns out that sparkling water and raisins are *fascinating*. My daughter and I happened upon this effect playing together in the kitchen a long time ago, and I couldn't help but explore the system more deeply... 1/n arxiv.org/abs/2308.12927

Mark your calendar - the Biophysical Society of Canada 🇨🇦 Mixer at the #BPS2024 meeting will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 13, from 5-7 pm at Love City Brewing Company Love City Brewing Co. See you there!!

We have a great week-long festival filled with talks covering Modeling cell and dev biology. register 👉 smb-celldevbio.github.io/cdevfestival/ hosted by SMB Cell and Developmental Biology Subgroup Alexandria Volkening Tian Hong @CarinaDunlop SMB - Society for Mathematical Biology the Node Virtual Human Development

Thank you so much to all the organizers Maria Abou Chakra Alexandria Volkening Tian Hong Alessandra Bonfanti @CarinaDunlop for this fantastic week-long event and for having me for a talk!! I had a great time!

New preprint from PrakashLab @ Miami lab! They have addressed one of the most fundamental question how left right patterning using fluid dynamics! If physics or dev bio aren't your thing, go see it for beautiful pictures!

The Canadian Association of Physicists is hosting their High School Teachers Workshop on Friday, May 31st, 2024, at Western University as part of the annual CAPhys 2024 Congress. Learn more at the link below: cap.ca/congress-confe…

Yiling Lan (grad student), Mike Bates (ZEISS Microscopy), and I had lots of fun helping out with the laser ablation and imaging on this awesome project from the Amacklab and M. Lisa Manning groups. Definitely an awesome BioInspired Syracuse project, check it out.

Do you like Developmental Biology? like going to meetings in beautiful places? Are you Canadian or like hanging out w/ Canadians? If you answered yes to these question please save the date! The 12th Canadian Developmental Biology meeting will be held on May 25-28, 2025 in Kelowna

The Biophysical Society of Canada is excited to launch a new initiative, BSC Biophysicist Spotlight, where we highlight outstanding biophysicists and their cutting-edge research.

For our first spotlight, we are thrilled to feature Dr. Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Western University.

For more information, please visit: Dr. Erdemci-Tandogan's BSC profile page: lnkd.in/g8-XNVpN Research website: softbiophys.ca LinkedIn: lnkd.in/gh53jEg8 X: lnkd.in/gkYYxqjV

I’m truly honoured to be featured in the inaugural BSC Biophysicist Spotlight! Thank you so much to the Biophysical Society of Canada for the spotlight!

I am excited to share our latest work on creating the first tunable Catch-Bond with #DNA! Our Fish-Hook architecture allowed precise control of adhesion nanomechanics, creating new possibilities for bioengineering and material science! 🧬🐟🪝🌟nature.com/articles/s4146… #biophysics
