Brilliant postdocs in my lab! Here they are, plus an undercover MPhil student, for Postdoc Appreciation Week! #LovePostdocs #NPAW2025

Supracellular control and coordination of tissue morphogenesis, through supracellular actomyosin assemblies, that is what my lab @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social @pdncambridge.bsky.social and I like to dig into at the moment! Fascinating and beautiful! journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

In the current Cambridge temperatures, this is the only way to do lab meeting! And the first Röper Lab outing from PDN!

Latest paper from the lab @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social, Anna's PhD work hot off the press @plosbiology.org ! Using single cell genomics to understand tube morphogenesis, and why it's as important to switch things off as it is to switch them on!

Very cool preprint by my colleague Kate McDole and her postdoc Katie Goodwin @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social using beautiful imaging and quantitative methods to understand the wondrous migrations of primordial germ cells in mouse embryos doi.org/10.1101/2025...

WTF (excuse my language) but how can 35 years after the Wall came done the conclusion in the former East near unanimously be that far right politics are the answer? Well, maybe within the forming Trump-Putin alliance this all makes sense…
