Research Specialist, Core Facilities – AFM/Optical Tweezers #ScienceJobs #AcademicSky

MCCF is hiring! We’re looking for an AFM specialist to support many different areas of cancer research, from single molecule imaging through to tissue-level mechanical analysis. See the link below, and please feel free to reach out for more details on the position… careers.mskcc.org/vacancies/90...

#sciencejobs We’re hiring! Our core facility is looking for an AFM specialist to design and perform experiments in single-molecule imaging and cell/tissue biomechanical analysis. Details below… msk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/MSKCC_Career...

this was a fun project to do with the Nikolov lab at @mskcancercenter.bsky.social - great to see it out!

Thanks to the Gerry Club for being a fantastic audience for all things spatial!

Our first 2025 paper! We discuss in @natrevmcb.bsky.social how epithelial stem cells mechanically sculpt tissues, and how these forces are altered in cancer. Great work from our former and current tumor mechanobiology experts Vince Fiore & @jorgealmagro.bsky.social 👏 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thoughtful perspective by Alexander Mietke on our recent work on #bladdercancer @naturephysics.bsky.social : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Published today! #Biophysics #Physics #Science It turns out that the forces applied to cells as they are ejected from a tissue affects whether those cells 'live' or 'die'. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share our Current Opinion by @mattjwalker.bsky.social and @delphe.bsky.social🧪 We review how advances in dynamic #hydrogel based #mechanobiology platforms are critical to understand disease progression in cancer and fibrosis @elsevierconnect.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

this whole issue is a great introduction to the field! it’s only going to get bigger through 2025

project file growing too cluttered? just consolidate everything into one massive analysis script thousands of lines long. just do it, copy paste them all together. you will certainly not regret consolidating everything into one massive analysis script thousands of lines long.

Inspired by the other amazing starter packs - here's one for cancer researchers! I tried to make this broad - from immunology to genomics to cell biology and so much more.. This list also includes organizations & institutes supporting cancer researchers 🧪🔬⚕️🩺 Hope its useful! go.bsky.app/FEoaJMc

It's not a repost if it's a new platform, right? right?? Lattice light sheet movie of actin in mitosis. Blebby.

Interested in microscopy and/or image analysis? Check out my newest starter pack of super folks.(which also links to the previous, 150-awesome-full one! Both also link to other imaging-y starter packs as I find them) go.bsky.app/MU8c2A2

Now out in NSMB for those who missed our biorxiv back in 2023.. bacterial ESCRT-III-like #Vipp1 forms dynamic spiral filaments on membrane! Spirals are springs that drive 3D ring formation in the spiral centre! 😵‍💫 wonderful collaboration with Adai Colom’s lab and @rouxlab.bsky.social rdcu.be/dZSPQ

this looks v neat!

Made a starter pack for microscopy and image analysis - please (self-)nominate additions! go.bsky.app/Nwa91pC

It's woefully incomplete, but I've made the start of a starter pack for folks interested in microscopy. Suggestions for who else to include (including yourself!) are very welcome. go.bsky.app/SaYfAX3

Here is an amazing story how science finds unusual ways: We tested a commercial dye for its suitability as an optoacoustic agent. During testing, we discovered something that was quite astonishing - it binds to all tumors. Here is the story: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How do karyotypes evolve? Turns out an intracellular tug of war within the metaphase spindle sets the limits for chromosome number evolution. Excited to see our study out today in Nature Cell Biology doi.org/10.1038/s41556-024-01485-w 1/9

There is still time to register for the Quantitative BioImaging workshop on Multiplex Image Analysis! www.quantitativebioimaging.com/qbi2023/mia2... October 12-13, San Diego There will be great speakers and interesting round table discussions on the challenges of multiplexing and solutions.
