Getting ready for what promises to be an excellent conference!!! Rita Mateus MPI-CBG Dresden Campàs Lab Physics of Life Dresden

Excited to announce that I will become a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at MPI-CBG Dresden after the Center for Systems Biology Dresden ELBE postdoc program. With Rita Rita Mateus and collaborators at MPI-PKS Dresden I will study electric effects during zebrafish fin regeneration. Looking forward!!

Many many congratulations Takumi Takumi Matsuzawa (Matz) !!

🚨 Thrilled to announce that I will be joining MPIPZ Cologne as a Group Leader this September! My team will explore mathematical & mechanical models of plant growth 🌱‼️ Interested students are welcome to contact me privately.

The very core of our research! Very grateful to be part of this community :)

A wonderful place where interdisciplinary sciences thrive on a strong collaborative culture. Apply to join us at Dresden indeed!

Munich Security Conference: It is shameful and unacceptable that Vance claims 'Europe is failing to uphold democratic values.' The real threat to democracy isn’t in Europe—it’s in the U.S.!

Fresh from the press with Nature Physics: How do we leverage a cell's self-organization to make it change its shape into a square? Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4156… PhysicsOfLifeLMU Nikta Fakhri

Researchers led by Erwin Frey (Universität München) and Nikta Fakhri (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)) discovered how to reshape living cells with light, revealing key mechanisms behind cell morphogenesis. read article: synbiobeta.com/read/lighten-u… #SyntheticBiology #Optogenetics #ScienceNews

⭐🐟 When you think of #ModelOrganisms, do you think of starfish? They're a classic model to understand #CellGrowth used by the Nikta Fakhri at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)! The lab used light to control how a single cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development: bit.ly/3DYtpYu

Thrilled to have this work out!! What strategy would physicists Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and PhysicsOfLifeLMU use to engineer cell shapes? Using an optogenetics tool we Tom Burkart managed to unlock a phase map for deformable cell geometries. A wonderful collaboration from the lovely days Nikta Fakhri!

Huge shoutout to the first authors Tom Burkart (Tom Burkart) and Jinghui Liu (Jinghui Liu) for the excellent work they did as PhD students. A great example of a tight-knit theory–experiment collaboration. Really proud of what this team pulled off!

Super proud of what we were able to complete together!☺️
