Launching celldynamicslab.com, the homepage of our new group at EPFL working on cell fragmentation, membrane and cortex mechanics, FLIM imaging, and microfluidics tools. MSc/PhD or postdocs interested in quantitative cell biology are welcome to reach out. We're also hiring a lab manager in 2026!

Check out this thread on MIRO—our new model for testing cancer immunotherapies! #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy

It’s been an amazing experience working together!! So many great moments and learning along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better co-author and friend to share this with! 🙌

Thank you Armando!!!

1/ 🚀 Breakthrough in Cancer Research!

Scientists from #IBEC and @researchmar.bsky.social have developed a device that replicates tumors to improve immunotherapy treatments. Introducing #MIRO: Micro Immune Response On chip 🧬🧪

Researchers develop a device that replicates tumours to study the efficacy of immunotherapy treatments The Micro Immune Response On chip (MIRO) allows tumours and their environment to be replicated in order to understand their response to immunotherapy-based treatments.

Work conceived by Anna Labernadie during her postdoc in the lab—now running her group at CIPF—in collaboration with Alex Calon from @researchmar.bsky.social. Congrats to first authors @aliperri.bsky.social , Andrea Gómez and @oriolmb.bsky.social ! ibecbarcelona.eu/researchers-...

New paper from the lab🎈. Introducing Micro Immune Response On-chip (MIRO), a device that replicates tumors and their microenvironment to better understand responses to immunotherapies (cyan=immune cells, red=cancer, green=CAFs).

Micro Immune Response On-chip (MIRO) models the tumour-stroma interface for immunotherapy testing - Nature Communications Modelling the tumour immune microenvironment in vitro is a valuable tool to test immunotherapy efficiency but capturing its complexity is challenging. Here authors present a fully humanised in vitro p...

Finally out! 🎉 Really happy to share my first co-author paper!

It was wonderful to work with @aliperri.bsky.social , and huge thanks to @xaviertrepat.bsky.social for the opportunity to be part of this project. Grateful to the whole team for making this happen!

It was fun to learn and discuss cool science at ASCB | EMBO Cell Bio meeting! Thanks to all the ones who stopped by my poster! #CellBio2024

@ascbiology.bsky.social

Hi all! 👋 I’m Oriol, PhD student at
@rouxlab.bsky.social , studying how forces impact stem cell behavior and development. Excited to connect and discuss science!!

Hi Maik! I would lke to be added to this starter pack! Also to the Collective Cell Migration/Dynamics one if it's possible. Thanks!
