Congratulations to @stefanosala89.bsky.social , with help from @shreya-c.bsky.social al‬ on the optogenetic experiments, for the awesome story! Read the full preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and thanks for listening!
LIM Domain Proteins link molecular and global tension by recognizing strained actin in adhesions
Mechanotransduction is fundamental to cell signaling and depends on force-sensitive adhesion proteins. How these proteins differentiate and integrate their responses to tension remains an open questio...

I also am very thankful for generous funding during my postdoctoral training from @damonrunyon.org, @cdi-ucsf.bsky.social, and the Hartz family. I can’t wait to join the community at @pennmedicine.bsky.social and @penncancer.bsky.social and get started!

Please reach out if you are interested in joining an interdisciplinary team that applies synthetic biology to study the role of cell adhesion in multicellular organization and tumor progression to advance cell therapies for cancer treatment and regenerative medicine.

The Stevens Lab will combine protein engineering, synthetic biology, and mechanobiology to investigate and program how cells form and maintain tissues.
