Thrilled to share my postdoctoral work exploring how brain mechanics influences metastasis, now out in Nature Cell Biology. Check it out! #ChenLab CMTM, Boston University Biological Design Center, Boston University Wyss Institute nature.com/articles/s4155…

Thrilled to see part of my thesis work, supported by the American Heart Association Predoctoral Fellowship published in Cell Reports by Cell Press! This work has been both challenging and rewarding, and I couldn't have done it without the incredible support of my mentor Lori O'Brien,

Thrilled to share our latest work from my postdoc with Adam Martin in Developmental Cell ! We uncovered a mechanism linking DV axial patterning with AP axis extension through patterned cell-cell adhesion. Intrigued? Dive into the details here!

Very proud of my group’s presentations at the Biomedical Engineering Society annual meeting, including our high school intern Lily, Ali Mohammad , Roberto Alonso Matilla , and former PhD student Louis Prahl (presenting his Postdoc work with @HughesLabPenn).

I am very excited to share the first preprint from my postdoc with Kim Cooper ! Read along to learn about tails and vertebral proportion 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
