- Reposted by Mattia SerraCongratulations to Mattia Serra on receiving the Interdisciplinary Early Career Science Prize from the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics! 🎉 Mattia has made groundbreaking advances in using #FluidDynamics to better understand developmental biology.
- Reposted by Mattia SerraWhich features of tissue flows are most robust and how do they emerge from #EpithelialMechanics? I’m @alex-plum.bsky.social (@mattiaserra.bsky.social group) and I’ll be sharing some papers on characterizing and controlling avian gastrulation flows.
- 📣 New preprint: Mechanochemical feedback, tissue geometry & rigid-body dynamics initiate rotational migration in Drosophila via spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. A mechanism generalizable to closed epithelia. @sreejithsanthosh.bsky.social biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- We’re recruiting PhD students & postdocs excited about nonlinear dynamics and the physics of living systems. Help us spread the word!
- 💥CONGRATS💥 to @mattiaserra.bsky.social on receiving a $1.6M NIH MIRA award. Mattia's project will integrate math and physics to develop data-driven frameworks for discovering the mechanisms of biological processes.
- 📣 New paper out! How do thousands of cells shape the emergent geometry of the avian embryo? We identify distinct, independently controllable mechanisms that contribute to embryo size and shape. @alex-plum.bsky.social @bensteventon.bsky.social @Guillermo Serrano Najera www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Mattia SerraWork by the incredibly talented PhD students Saurabh Joshi and Andre Forjaz.
- 📣 New review! Dynamical systems and low-dimensional geometric structures in phase space help rationalize how embryos develop form and function, from large datasets. We focus on morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and their interconnection. @alex-plum.bsky.social sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- 📣 Preprint alert! We developed a framework to uncover Coherent Structures in flows on dynamic surfaces—revealing dynamic attractors, repellers and deformation directions in nematic vesicles, pancreatic spheroids, and beating zebrafish hearts. @sreejithsanthosh.bsky.social biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
