Curious how mechanics shape the developing eye? 👁️ Join us for your PhD at the interdisciplinary @lsiexeter.bsky.social to explore early eye morphogenesis through developmental biology, biophysics and computational modelling. lsi.exeter.ac.uk/groups/harma... Supported by @swbiodtp.bsky.social

Exciting opportunity at the Living Systems Institute (University of Exeter)! Join our interdisciplinary team to uncover how extracellular matrix mechanics shape animal morphogenesis, supported by a China Scholarship Council & University of Exeter studentship. lsi.exeter.ac.uk/groups/harma...

Are you looking for a PhD starting in September 2026/27? Then do not miss the fantastic opportunity to be part of the LSI PhD Community. New positions for the LSI PhD Programme are out now. www.exeter.ac.uk/research/ins... Deadline: 26.11.2025

We are recruiting new PhD students! Are you interested in tissue mechanics and how size in animals is controlled? Then join us for an exciting PhD at the interface of developmental biology, biophysics and computational modelling. Check our webpage for more detail: lsi.exeter.ac.uk/groups/harma...

I’m excited to speak at this years meeting of the molecular biology society of Japan in beautiful Fukuoka 🇯🇵 Many thanks to Hironobu Fujiwara for extending the invitation and for welcoming me at the RIKEN Center for Biodynamics Research in Kobe. Amazing science and many great discussions.

Tomorrow we will be hosting Yi-Jyun Luo at the LSI @lsiexeter.bsky.social seminar series. Since we are in a very interdisciplinary institute, we thought of introducing our guests in a general and open way, explaining the background to their research ( #Betamode ). So I will start:

Are you looking for a PhD position starting 2025/26? Then check out our website www.exeter.ac.uk/research/ins... and apply for a PhD position at the Living Systems Institute in Exeter. It could be you in the photo next year. @uniofexeter.bsky.social

Spread the word! Lots of exciting PhD studentships open under the SWBio scheme (doctoral landscape award) www.swbio.ac.uk Including this one with our group @lsiexeter.bsky.social on programming cyanobacteria motility www.findaphd.com/phds/project... Apply by 11 Dec 2024 (email/DM for details)!
