‪Thank you to all the course teachers and students for a science-filled program! Looking forward to this next cohort of ECM researchers develop their work 🤩 And many thanks to Charlotte Bilde and the staff of Fælleshuset for making sure there was an endless supply of coffee ☕️🧁 ‬

And of course, rounding off the 3-day course with a bit of healthy competition from the students shark tank style! 🦈💸 Our judges @grithhojfeldt.bsky.social and Rene Svensson selected “JointSlay” as winners over “AngioFrame” and “Keloidoscope” - hypothetical products to promote ECM repair!

Final day of the matrix PhD course: lectures on in vitro models by Kevin Baker, microscopy techniques by Clara Prats and mechanical measurements from macro to the nano scale by René Svensson!

Learning examples of ECM research using complex imaging & cutting edge spatial proteomics & degradomics analyses from Kasper Mygind & Michael Davies. And the use of stem cells to encourage cartilage repair by Lise Berg. Lots of things to think about in our group work sessions!

Day 2 lectures included more technical ones covering how to maximise readouts from small samples by considering sample preparation taught by Peter Schjerling 🍐 and learning from proteomics methodologies designed for single cells taught by @erwinschoof 🧫 #ECMatrix 🤔

Looking forward to seeing you again at another #ECM meeting! And to hear about your new project! 🤞
