Seeking Laboratory Technologist (Wet Lab Core Facility) at the Mechanobiology Institute, NUS
The Mechanobiology Institute (MBI), National University of Singapore (NUS), is seeking to recruit a Laboratory Technologist (Wet Lab Core Facility).
Great to host Saanjbati Adhikari, Reviews Editor at Development, at MBI
Saanjbati gave a lovely seminar to the MBI community on publishing in Development and her personal journey in academic publishing. It was also a huge privilege to share my own research journey through the Transitions in Development series; click in for the link to the article!
Check out the latest preprint from the lab!
Dual curvature sensing governs cell orientation and curvotaxis. Click in for the link to the article!
Welcoming the latest summer interns to the lab!
The Chan Lab kicked off the summer by welcoming our incoming interns over a hearty meal together!
