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.

I joined the Saunders group on an internship as part of my Final Year Project during undergraduate study. The internship has been an amazing experience and helped me make up my mind to continue my journey in the mechanics of development – an exciting field which requires the integration of biology, physics, computer science and engineering.
My background during undergraduate study is in Bioinformatics (at Shanghai Jiao Tong University), and this has prepared me well for future exploration. I hope to use quantitative analysis techniques to study robust and precise cell matching processes. By applying embryonic Drosophila heart formation as a simplified matching system, I am looking forward to deciphering the deeper mechanisms of the cell targeting process about how cells find their partners in a complicated environment.
