Farewell to Nicole, our first summer intern in the Lab!
Congrats to Nicole for winning the best video presentation in the MBI MUST program. We are lucky to have you! Thank you for bringing so much energy and joy to the lab. Hope to see you soon!
2021 Cell & Tissue Hydraulics: Virtual interactive symposium
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN. The Cell & Tissue Hydraulics Mini-Symposium will present three days of pre-recorded lectures, live talks from invited speakers and pre-recorded short talks and poster presentations.
Spotlight on MBI Prof Low Boon Chuan: Unravelling the chemistry of life
A recent NUS News article features Assoc Prof Low, who leads a dynamic team at MBI focusing on how cells signal – the way they communicate with one another and within themselves.
2021 Bootcamp on Mechanobiology
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
The group is growing!
Warm welcome to the first members of Mammalian Development & Tissue Hydraulics Lab! Fantastic team that helps to build the lab despite the challenges during the pandemic… Kudos to all and looking forward to exciting times ahead!
Mechano-osmotic forces shape organoid morphogenesis
Super happy to contribute to this exciting work on the role of lumen/tissue mechanics in organoid development. Beautiful collaboration between biologists and physicists. Also nice views by C. Nelson.
