Center on Probes for Molecular Mechanotechnology
@cpmm24.bsky.social
We're an NIH-funded center that develops and optimizes technologies to enable the study of mechanobiology and mechanotransduction pathways in living cells. Primarily based out of Emory University but have collaborators globally!
See you all Thursday!
We're excited for our next talk in the Forces at Play: Molecular Mechanobiology Seminar Series with Dr. Carsten Grashoff from the University of Münster on Thursday, February 12th at 12pm EST on Zoom. Please see the flyer for more information. We hope to see you all virtually!
