Congratulations 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.
Amazing material!
amazing! 🎉
Which 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.
Amazing! Congratulations
📣 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.

We’re recruiting PhD students & postdocs excited about nonlinear dynamics and the physics of living systems. Help us spread the word!
same here, thank you
📣 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

Work 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.

Thank you, Denis!
📣 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

Super cool! Congratulations Elias and team 🔥
congratulations @jcornwallscoones.bsky.social and welcome to the SSF family!
they are great!
Ashley's postdoc work is now posted on bioRxiv.

Morphogenetic movements reshape cell-cell interaction ranges, quantified as Embryological Light Cones (ELCs). These ELCs are highly different from the corresponding static tissue patterning ELCs.
📣Check out our work led by @alex-plum.bsky.social ! We developed a mathematical framework for morphogen patterning in dynamic tissues, revealing key insights into how morphogenesis mediates cell-cell communication, morphogen compartmentalization and fate coordination. biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
📣 Excited to receive the 💥 NSF CAREER 💥 Award. Our group is looking for PhD students and postdocs interested in the Nonlinear Dynamics and the Physics of Living Systems, with support from NSF, HFSP, and other sources. We’d appreciate your help in spreading the word! @ucsdphysci.bsky.social
