Experimental embryology postdoc available in my lab at the @biology.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk working on the evolution of vertebral counts. Reach out if you’re passionate about EvoDevo, enjoy lab work and microscopy and are into or could get into cichlid fishes. Deadline on the 16th June. Please share!

New paper out in @pnas.org We followed cells migrating along signalling gradients in 3D, and found they collectively behave as a living droplet - a self-propelling fluid that grows. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Pattern formation along signaling gradients driven by active droplet behaviour of cell groups
Gradients of extracellular signals organise cells in tissues. Although there are several models for how gradients can pattern cell behaviour, it is not clear how cells react to gradients when the popu...
