PhD Candidate @ UNC Chapel Hill @ Bear and Legant labs Thinks mechanobiology, cellular forces, and cell migration are kinda neat.

Two great talks today from Chris Ho @chrisho.bsky.social and Julio Belmonte at the UNC MathBio seminar series. Interesting discussions on the role of Coronin 1a and Trim67 interactions in neuron growth cone guidance and the connectivity requirements of local and global cytoskeleton contraction.

Chris Ho presenting on his work with Coronin 1A and Trim67 interactions in netrin response in neuronal morphogenesis.

Something we’ve been working on recently: soft PDMS micropatterned channels for traction force microscopy during confined migration. If you’re interested in seeing cells crawl through them while we measure traction forces take a look at our recent preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
