Lara Hundsdorfer
Interested in cell biomechanics &
host-pathogen interactions. Exploring how mechanical stretch impacts the behavior and infection of epithelial cell monolayers. PhD student in the Bastounis lab, University of Tübingen.
- Reposted by Lara HundsdorferBastounis lab had a great time at @cellmech2025.bsky.social — such an engaging and well-organized #Mechanobiology conference in Leuven 🙌 Thanks to everyone for the inspiring exchanges! And big congrats to our lab member @hundsdorfer.bsky.social for winning the Best PhD Student Poster Prize 🎉
- Reposted by Lara HundsdorferThe Bastounis Lab is at #CellMech2025 in Leuven 🇧🇪! We explore how mechanics shape infection: from epithelial entry to endothelial barriers. 📅 Sept 30: Raúl Aparicio Yuste & Lara Hundsdorfer 📅 Oct 1:Julio César Sánchez Rendón, Marie Münkel, Nadine Oder& I Excited for inspiring discussions! 🚀

- Reposted by Lara HundsdorferWe’re hiring! A PhD position (E13 TV-L, 65%) is available at @cmfi.bsky.social @unituebingen.bsky.social. The DFG-funded project explores how mechanical forces shape intracellular bacterial infections, focusing on Listeria. Details & application: www.euraxess.de/jobs/366585. Start: ASAP!

- Reposted by Lara HundsdorferHow is extrusion of infected host cells related to ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) activity? Hi, I’m @hundsdorfer.bsky.social from the @effiebastounis.bsky.social lab. Let’s follow the recent development of bacterially-infected cell extrusion & mechanochemical ERK activity waves.

- Super happy that our paper is published in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! Find out more about how #ERK waves coordinate the mechanical competition that lead to collective infected cell #extrusion: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... (1/4)
- The study of @hundsdorfer.bsky.social et al. on ERK waves coordinating the #biomechanical competition between #epithelial #cells resulting in infected cell extrusion is out: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce.... Thanks to all contributors, DFG, @cmfi.bsky.social & @Serge for #Shigella & #zebrafish experiments!
- Collective infected cell extrusion (CICE) also occurs with another #pathogen & in vivo! Huge thanks to Marie Muenkel & the @sergemostowylab.bsky.social lab for showing that #zebrafish larvae fins infected with #Shigella also extrude the infected cells in an ERK activity dependent manner. (3/4)
- Thanks for the amazing support @effiebastounis.bsky.social, the great contributions from all authors & collaborating labs (Serge Mostowy, María José Gómez Benito, Boris Macek, Tilman Schäffer, Iordania Constantinou) & for the support from @dfg.de, @cmfi.bsky.social & @unituebingen.bsky.social (4/4)
