Bioengineering | Ph.D. from the Cohen Lab, Princeton University. Currently with Hiiragi Lab, Hubrecht Institute as a postdoc!
Joined December 2019
My final project during my PhD is out! We electrically stimulate 3D epithelial structures to inflate like a water balloon. Much thanks to @almcalvo , @Sameeksha Rao, @Isaac Breinyn, and the fearless leader @DJCohenEtAl ! .

Very grateful to have the MSCA fellowship for my postdoc journey. I'll be using traction force microscopy (TFM) and other methods to directly measure forces generated at the embryo-uterine interface during implantation!.
Laura Rodriguez Munoz and @GawoonS, two researchers from the Hiiragi group, recently received a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship. Additionally, Rodriguez Munoz has received an EMBO Fellowship. Read more about their research on early embryonic development:

A new paper from the @DJCohenEtAl Lab! My dear Elena spent so much time making these half-collegen, half-Ecad surfaces for MDCK cells and the results are quite stunning. Can you tell from the video which side is which? .

Ever wanted to make groups of stubborn cells move at your bidding? Find out how a little bit of calcium chelation can go a long way on this week's biorxiv: .

As collective cell migration is essential in biological processes spanning development, healing, and cancer progression, methods to externally program cell migration are of great value. However,...
Herding cells isn't all sheepdogs/roses. Some tissues hate taking orders. Our new work w/ GS @GawoonS + Prof. Devenport shows: (1) more communal cells resist bioelectric herding; (2) disrupting cell-cell adhesion improves herding + healing lab skin wounds!

we made it on the cover too XD.
Proud to announce that SCHEEPDOG is out today in @CellSystemsCP feat. co-lead author @GawoonS, @Rossello_Alex, Linus Wang, and fearless leader @DJCohenEtAl!. Read on to see how we herd collective cell migration using electric fields!.
