Chan Lab shares latest work on ovarian mechanobiology at SCBS Launch
Our talented PhD student, Boon Heng, giving great poster presentation to a gathering crowd at the Society for Cell Biology Singapore (SCBS) Launch.
Chan Lab at ACRLE Conference 2022
Congrats to Vinod, who shared the latest work on macrophage-ECM interaction during ovarian ageing.
Building a mechanobiological signaling scaffold for the heart
A collaboration between MBI scientists and clinical researchers revealed how a scaffolding protein integrates biochemical and mechanical signals to control cardiac muscle cell differentiation. Learn more
Guiding random events to create resilient patterns
A study from the Saunders lab uncovers how random cell fusion events during muscle development are regulated at the tissue level to ensure correct patterning of the muscle architecture. Learn more
MBI welcomes August 2022 Ph.D. Students
MBI receives 11 new Ph.D. students for the MBI Programme in Mechanobiology, a rigorous four-year graduate programme focused on mechanobiology, biophysics and bioengineering.
Farewell to Hugo Raveton
It’s been a great privilege to have Hugo Raveton with us from Jan - July 2022. All the best to your future endeavour!
