Reflecting on my #phd journey tonight! I am so grateful to a group of amazing people, my advisor Max, my TAC members, examiners, collaborators, and my people whom I miss so much!! 6 months ago we celebrated a personal mileston!! Thanks to all who made it possible!

Anyone in here who applied for the @embo.org #postdoctoral #fellowship and could share some information/tips!?
I would be really grateful for any insights!!

High-throughput screening of drugs that affect cell proliferation is easily done using a plate reader.
No such luck for cell migration. So, we developed an assay for label-free deep learning-based automated cell tracking.

🤩My new #naturecover for @maxreichertmd.bsky.social and @arispapargyriou.bsky.social who developed a new 3D culture system called “branched” organoids.
They’re called #branched because they grow outward in tree-like shapes with multiple “branches” mimicking the tumour growth in adenocarcinoma.

June, a reminder of the importance of visibility, inclusion, solidarity. Let's uplift each other + stand up for equity—not just in words, but in action! The Meshwork will always celebrate LGBTQ+ voices. Have a story/lab initiative/scientist to spotlight? We’d love to hear/share!
