Manning Research Group
Manning Research Group at Syracuse University: theory and computation focused on cells, grains, tissues, glasses, and other out-of-equilibrium disordered matter
- Very excited about this new paper out on bioRxiv, spearheaded by the fantastic Dr. Grigas in collaboration with @mongeralab.bsky.social and Galea labs.
- How do sparse mesenchymal cells, with unique stellate arms spanning large gaps between cells, maintain their network while still flowing during development? In our new preprint we describe the avian PSM as a fluid under tension and develop new theory to explain it: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- Yay! New paper out in PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... . How do dynamical forces generated by tissue movement affect organ morphology changes during embryonic development? Using Kupffer’s vesicle in zebrafish embryo we showed that dynamical forces produce shape changes in a developing organ.
- Why do vertex models work so well to predict tissue fluidity/rigidity, even though they are simple and possibly even wrong? A new paper in PRX Life @prxlife.bsky.social, spearheaded by @sadjadarzash.bsky.social and Ojan Damavandi, suggests universality may explain: journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
- Excited to have a discussion on this topic with outstanding colleagues!
- Congratulations to graduate student Tyler Hain for his paper accepted to Phys. Rev. E. Here's a link to the tweetorial (on x until we finish migration to bluesky): x.com/ManningResea...
- Fun article in Washington post for kids about Bio-inspired science and engineering at Syracuse University! x.com/SUBioInspired/…
- Thanks EPL for the highlight for the nice work spearheaded by former Manning group postdoc Ojan Damavandi. x.com/epl_journal/st…
- Working hard and very interested in promoting "bio-inspired design" funding opportunities in the United States. x.com/EngineeringSU/…
- A fun and fruitful collaboration with the @WickstromLab with a new preprint and hopefully more fun science in the works. Thanks, team! x.com/WickstromLab/s…
- Congratulations to Liz Lawson-Keister for a fantastic article and lovely cover art in collaboration with artist Melanie Oventhal. See this blog post for more details: x.com/syracusephysic… biophysics.org/blog/moving-to…
- Loving this workshop from company of biologists from Physics to function. Thanks @XavierTrepat and @johannaivaska for organizing! x.com/XavierTrepat/s…
- So proud of our organizing team at Syracuse University and co-organizers at Wyss +Princeton+UCSF. Such a fun event to make the case for BioInspired Design as a great track for translational research at NSF! x.com/SUBioInspired/…
- Excited to be talking about modeling the mechanics of glasses at MMM10 in Baltimore todayhighlighting work by current and former trainees David Richard, Ethan Stanifer, and Julia Giannini! mmm10.jhu.edu
- Congratulations to grad student Julia Giannini who is an invited speaker at the "Defects in disordered systems" workshop at UPenn tomorrow : sites.google.com/sas.upenn.edu/…
- We're hiring: come work (and have fun) with us! The Physics Department and BioInspired Institute at Syracuse University have a tenure-track faculty position open in soft matter and/or biological physics:@phycuse @SUBioInspired sujobopps.com/postings/95696
- I feel very impostor-y about developing a Q&A article in a biology journal. Am I biology-y enough? Is this even interesting to people? doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…
- Come work (and have fun) with us! x.com/ZhenMa2046/sta…
- So well-deserved, brilliant scientist and @SUBioInspired advisory board member Dr. Tanner! t.co/xbj09MqGNP
- So excited we're finally able to hold our big Annual Symposium for the BioInspired Institute we've been working so hard to build over the past 3 years (despite the pandemic! x.com/SUBioInspired/…
- Looking forward to this conference! x.com/IntSocDevBiol/…
- Thank you @khoribe3 for kindly tweeting about this talk! Due to a family emergency I had to switch my talk at the last second from in person to virtual, and everyone (audience, organizers) was so kind and thoughtful. But I was so busy I forgot to tweet about it. : x.com/khoribe3/statu…
- So excited to share that former lab postdoc Dr. Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan will soon be Professor Erdemci-Tandogan. So well-deserved!!!!❤️ x.com/gonca_erdemci/…
- Research labs and workspaces need to become more welcoming to every bright mind. @SenSchumer, please urge your colleagues in conference to support the COMPETES version of the Combating Sexual Harassment in Science Act.

- Congratulations to research assistant Tyler Hain, who was just awarded the 2022 Syracuse University Oustanding Teaching Assistant Award!
- Very cool! (also, I recognize that phase diagram from grad student Liz Lawson-Keister's amazing review article on jamming in tissues. x.com/jbwallingford/…
