Interdisciplinary cell biologist fascinated by (extra)cellular mechanobiology in (patho)physiology. Lecturer, Department of Biomedical Engineering @University of Strathclyde & CeMi. Tweets about science & other stuff in which I engage. Views are my own.
- War bestimmt das beste Start-up Projekt, da bin ich mir ganz sicher...🤮
- I would call it the "Matthew effect" grant! Why is it that we always demand to "listen to the science", but when it comes to science related to the flaws and issues of our current research funding structure (and scientific publishing system for that matter), we are completely ignorant...?
- · #AcademicSky · The European Research Council is launching €7m Plus Grants for ambitious, long‑term research — open to researchers at any career stage but limited to about 30 awards; current ERC grantees and applicants are ineligible, reports @clanicholson.bsky.social.
- Completely wrong direction imo. It would be better and more efficient to increase funding rates of existing schemes funding more of the already fundable, great ideas for projects that are out there instead of yet another call with, most probably, less than 10% success rate.

- Reposted by Carsten SchulteYour periodic reminder that science is not done by a few selected "stars scientists". Science is done by hundred of thousands. Siloed money mean a few flashy discoveries and a lot of waste. Want to change things? Make funding accessible and stop funding calls with less than 2% success rate.

- What Christopher says!
- Reposted by Carsten SchulteERC success rates are tanking and the move is... even bigger grants for fewer people? smh

- Jane Goodall, one of my inspirations to study biology. What a big loss for humanity! RIP
- Glasgow representation is strong @cellmech2025.bsky.social with @unistrathclyde.bsky.social & @uofglasgow.bsky.social @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social cell mechanobiologists united 😊!

- On my way to CellMech25 in Leuven! I'm really looking forward to catching up with the Mechanobiology community! First time as Lecturer @unistrathclyde.bsky.social&PI @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social with parts of my group (Extra) Cellular Mechanobiology in Health and Disease @dylanjfowler.bsky.social 🤩!
- Congratulations Carmelo and team, brilliant work showing that mechanostimuli (through sound waves) can provoke nuclear chromatin responses in mesenchymal stem cells which directs the cells towards osteogenic lineage🤩!
- The core team of the Tenovus Scotland-funded Small Pilot Grant project "Leveraging mechanobiology for the optimisation of in vitro muscle-related disease models" is on the case😊, with a strong 4th&5th year students-driven component! @unistrathclyde.bsky.social @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social

- Very interesting story on the nuclear mechanoresponse to sono-stimulation!

- We are very happy 😄 that our Rheinland-Pfalz & Scotland exchange project started, jointly awarded by @sulsa.bsky.social and JGU Scotland Hub, sponsored by the governments of 🏴 & Rheinland-Pfalz. 1/2 @unistrathclyde.bsky.social @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social @imbmainz.bsky.social @unimainz.bsky.social
- BioMedEng25 is over! I really enjoyed my talk&the opportunity present my research. I also talked about unpublished work from a collaboration with @carmeloferrai.bsky.social that is getting closer&closer to being deposited on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social. Stay tuned 😀! @biomedeng25.bsky.social

- A little more than a year that @carmeloferrai.bsky.social and I published our review "Mechanotransduction in stem cells"🤯! I'm happy that it was received well 😃! Stay tuned, more to come in this direction in a not too far future😎.

- Please RT and/or give me a name if you think someone from underrepresented countries deserves a forum:
- #Science Bluesky, do your thing: We're organising the International Symposium on Mechanobiology (ISMB) 2026 in #Glasgow & we're looking for research groups in Latin America & Africa who are doing great work in #Mechanobiology or adjacent areas. Can you indicate some names to me?

- Very important publication highlighting the need for more realistic cell culture disease models that recapitulate better (patho)physiological conditions.

- Retroactive or retrospective paper 🧵 (I like the term, thanks @nicopedroncelli.bsky.social):
- A paper that I published as a co-first author in 2014 (with G.M. Ferraris and V. Buttiglione, supervised by N. Sidenius, not on bluesky) reached 100 citations. Science social media weren't that big yet back then, so I seize this occasion to make a 🧵 about it now: 👉 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

- The abstract submission deadline of BioMedGen2025 @biomedeng25.bsky.social has been extended. You still have the chance to submit until the 19th of May. Meet us all in Glasgow😊: 👉 biomedeng.org/biomedeng25/
- Totally agree. If Europe was serious in positioning itself as a new strong research hub in the world, we would need to invest hundreds of billions (as made available for weapons) not millions, that's basically just a drop in the ocean...
