Thank you Rodrigo!

Thanks Meghan, excited to be back! 🇨🇦

Thank you Bong-Inh, and same to you as well!!

6/6 Finally, if you are/know someone interested in graduate opportunities in an exciting department & a vibrant, multicultural city, and passionate about science, reach out! We will be recruiting for the 2026 grad student cycle at U of T to study cardiovascular morphogenesis and fate determination!

5/6 None of this would have been possible without my incredible team whose talent, passion and dedication have driven our discoveries forward! It’s been a privilege to turn our bold ideas into meaningful advances together @dorotheeb.bsky.social‬ @amulyavhejjaji.bsky.social Newsha M.

4/6 So many have contributed to this journey so far, and I want to thank the instrumental support from my mentors during my postdoc Didier ‪@stainierlab.bsky.social‬ and junior group leader phases Erez ‪@erezraz.bsky.social‬.

3/6 Building on the momentum of our work in Münster, we aim to further uncover how the heart and the vasculature take shape—probing how dynamic forces from the extracellular matrix and blood flow influence cardiovascular cell fate and tissue morphogenesis.

2/6 With continued co-affiliation with @uni-muenster.de‬. Many thanks to the Faculty of Medicine and the Institute of Cell Biology for their support in the past 3 years of starting my lab! And the generous funding and support from @dfg.de‬ @sfb1348.bsky.social‬ and SFB1450.
