Happy to share an interview I got to do with Katja Bühler, the Head of the Biomedical Image Informatics Group at VRVis in Vienna. I got to learn how she supports user projects as member of Austrian BioImaging/CMI Node! Enjoy the interview 💪🖥️🔬

Last month I successfully defended my PhD thesis on the role of cell division synchrony during early embryo development! I am lucky to have spent these past years working with an amazing team at @embldbunit.bsky.social. Thank you @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social for making it possible!

🔔 Proud to share the preprint of my PhD work in the Petridou group @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social @embl.org ✨ “A closed feedback between tissue phase transitions and morphogen gradients drives patterning dynamics” 🐟 🔁 📶 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #devbio #biophysics 🧵⤵️

🎉 Excited to share our new work: “Adhesion-driven tissue rigidification triggers epithelial cell polarity”, now on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ! A huge thank you to @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social, Bernat, @crisp-c.bsky.social, Adrián, and everyone involved! 🙌 🧵⤵️

Last fall, I got to join a great workshop on cell divisions during early embryo development. It was great to discuss science and community goals with my peers. Read all about it here 👇

A big thank you to @lendertgelens.bsky.social, @kamenzlab.bsky.social and @biologists.bsky.social for a great workshop! I enjoyed meeting the authors of papers I have read throughout my work on embryonic cleavages. Lots of engaging discussions and exciting science bridging biology 🧑‍🔬🔬 and theory 🖥️🧮.

Congratulations to our PhD student @lena-schindler.bsky.social for receiving the best contribution award at the Theory Transversal Theme retreat at EMBL Barcelona! Lena talked about how variability in the timing of cell divisions impacts the robustness of tissue phase transitions #proudPI
