Early Career Researchers’ Day: A Launchpad for Postdocs and PhD Students
A symposium for postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to present their scientific work, network with peers, and participate in career development.
Less is More: Simplified 3D Nanoscopy via Vortex Interference Widens Access
Researchers from the Kanchanawong Lab at the Mechanobiology Institute, NUS makes cutting-edge 3D nanoscopy more accessible to researchers without elaborate optical engineering.
The Chan Lab at the MBI-MPG Conference 2025!
Congratulations to Kim Whye and Kosei for being selected for talks, and Boon Heng for winning the 'Best Poster' prize! Thanks to all who gave feedback on our work!
Rac-1 Regulated Cadherin Clusters Mark Naive Stem Cells
Researchers from the Kanchanawong Lab at the Mechanobiology Institute, NUS discover a marker of ground-state pluripotent stem cells and what governs it.
Confined Migration Shapes the Bony Fate of Stem Cells
Researchers from the Holle Lab at the Mechanobiology Institute, NUS discover that migration through confined spaces causes lasting nuclear changes in stem cells, biasing them toward bone formation.
