Postdoc in my group at @humantechnopole.bsky.social! We want to answer how single-cell morphodynamics is connected to cell topology & state in cell collectives, using data analysis and theoretical modelling. Please share! careers.humantechnopole.it/job/Postdoc-...

Final thought: development is not one fixed script. Evolution finds different mechanical solutions to the same morphogenetic problem. Or, more simply: when things get crowded, the beetle finds another dimension. 🪲 #EvoDevo #gastrulation #morphogenesis #development #Drosophila #Tribolium

We opened 4 PhD positions at @humantechnopole.bsky.social together with Polimi (see 👇). My lab offers a PhD project on "Computational Morphogenesis": use state-of-the-art machine learning methods together with realistic simulations to build digital twins of developing tissue. Apply by March 26.

Excited to share this new work from Ana Raffaelli, in collaboration with Ewa Paluch's lab and involving several of my colleagues at Cyclana Bio. In this paper, we show that basement membrane mechanics instructs developmental signalling and fate patterning. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

1/6 🧪 Preprint-Alert! We looked at how molecules move across phase boundaries, e.g., in liquid droplets, taking into account that chemical potentials inside and outside the boundary can be different! This unites recent work with stuff from the 60s and has cool consequences 👇 shorturl.at/j0U6i

Transport kinetics across interfaces between coexisting liquid phases

We investigate the kinetics of material transport across interfaces in phase-separated mixtures. Using non-equilibrium thermodynamics we derive the interfacial kinetics, describing the movement of the...
