Chan Lab shares latest work on ovarian macrophages at the CBT Conference
Our talented postdoc, Anna Jaeschke, presenting her work on ovarian macrophages at the CBT Conference at QUT, Brisbane.
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.
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!
Chan Lab dinner and welcoming interns!
Finally, the lab dinner that is long overdue :) And a warm welcome to the summer interns!
Latest publication on tissue hydraulics in reproduction is out!
Joe and Tsuyoshi Hirashima (incoming PI) reviewed recent advances in our understanding on how fluid dynamics shape mammalian oogenesis and spermatogenesis.
Talk at EMBO/EMBL Symposium on Mechanobiology in development and disease
Joe shares the latest finding on theca cell mechanosensing and their function in controlling follicle growth at the 2022 EMBO/EMBL symposium on mechanobiology in development and disease.
Invited talks at ASCB/EMBO Meeting and Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) Annual Meeting
Joe shares the latest work from the lab on follicle mechano-hydraulics. Great sessions with plenty of feedback. Thanks to the organisers for the kind invitations!
The Chan lab is getting more culturally diverse!
The Chan lab welcomes research fellows Anna Jaeschke from Germany and Arikta Biswas from India! Anna will be applying her expertise on matrix biology and bioengineering to understand ovarian ageing, while Arikta will develop new imaging and biophysical approaches to study how mechanical stress impacts follicle morphogenesis and oocyte functions.
Probing follicle mechanical environment using light!
Our late work Mechanical mapping of mammalian follicle development using Brillouin microscopy is out in Communications Biology! Great collaboration with the Prevedel lab at EMBL Heidelberg.
Singapore Teaching and Academic Research Talent Award ceremony (Sep 27 2021)
The Chan lab is grateful to the START Inaugural Grant for supporting our research on understanding ovarian development, ageing and diseases in the coming years!
Invited talk in the RIMS workshop on Biofluid Mechanics of Reproduction (Kyoto, July 2021)
Joe shares the latest work on ovarian hydraulics with expert scientists from Japan. Plenty of feedback and interactions! Looking forward to future collaborations in this exciting field!
