About the role

Our lab aims to understand how functional organs are built during embryonic development, focusing on the developing zebrafish heart. We integrate tissue mechanics, developmental genetics, transcriptomics, biophysics, and theoretical modelling to study organ development.

What you will be doing

• Use advanced microscopy, genetic and optical perturbations, and biophysical approaches to investigate how mechanics, cell fate dynamics, and geometry interact during tissue patterning.
• Study 3D topological meshworks and their shaping, constraint, and canalization.
• Investigate nuclear integrity maintenance in a developing, beating heart.
• Explore physical pri...
