Enjoying a mash-up of biophysics and development biology with plenty of cytoskeleton fun in the Grill Lab at MPI-CBG Dresden. Interested in climbing, outdoors and raising two decent human beings.

Spring PhD recruitment round @crick.ac.uk is now open and we have a project on offer: www.crick.ac.uk/careers-stud.... If you have a background in maths or physics and are curious about patterning and growth in biology this could be the project for you! Please help us spread the word 💥

Arittri's amazing finding that our old friend Lifeact can make actomyosin flow in the opposite direction, change chirality and flip left and right in the C.elegans worm. Check out here for more details: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

In our latest preprint we show that Lifeact::mKate2 can reverse the chirality of active torques in the actomyosin cortex. This results in cortical flows with opposite handedness during left-right symmetry breaking, leading to the formation of situs inversus worms. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We had a good line up of speakers at the 50 years anniversary meeting of the german society of cell biology @dgz.bsky.social in Heidelberg. Tony gave the plenary, Koichiro talked about spatial control of P granules and Silja received a price for her Master thesis and gave a talk. Congratulations!

Paper alert!🧪 We derive a theory that underpins interface resistance with a physical foundation and look at how it changes droplet growth and recovery kinetics! Awesome collab with @bosste.bsky.social Tyler Harmon @hymanlab.bsky.social @m-pol.bsky.social and Frank Jülicher @mpipks.bsky.social 1/4

What started with many quail eggs and put me on stage in a chicken suit has now resulted in a preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Microsurgery with human eye-lashes, laser ablations, great analysis and insightful theory from @neipel.bsky.social told us more about avian L/R symmetry breaking.

Here is what I have been up to in the lab of @stephangrill.bsky.social together with @neipel.bsky.social and many others. Intrigued by avian left right symmetry breaking we found that a tissue-scale active torque drives chiral flow and requires mechanical coupling to the underlying tissue.

🚨New preprint Glad to share my postdoc work on the role of the hypoblast in primitive streak induction! Discover how live imaging observations led us to revisit the molecular mechanisms governing embryonic axis induction Thanks to @jeromegros.bsky.social and all co-authors! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Live imaging and functional characterization of the avian hypoblast redefine the mechanisms of primitive streak induction
In birds and mammals, the formation of the primitive streak, the hallmark of the primary axis and site of gastrulation, is thought to occur when an anterior displacement of the hypoblast (visceral end...

How are single-molecule dynamics influenced by phase separation? What happens if these molecules undergo chemical reactions as they often do in biomolecular condensates? What if they are driven out of equilibrium? arxiv.org/abs/2503.19517 @larshubatsch.bsky.social @mpipks.bsky.social
