Out today in Nature Physics! doi.org/10.1038/s415... It was highlighted by Brown News: brown.edu/news/2026-01... Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors Hyuntae @htjeong.bsky.social and Carles, and deepest gratitude to my mentor Prof. Ian Y. Wong @ianywonglab.bsky.social for leading this journey. 🧵

Published online today in Nature Physics - we show how multicellular spheroids round up and orbit, driving a deterministic transition to 3D matrix invasion at predictable locations. Amazing work from @jiwon-kim.bsky.social, @htjeong.bsky.social and collaborators www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm very happy to share my first article as a corresponding author published in @natmethods.nature.com !! 😍 Some groups (like us) have developed complex 3DTFM methods in the last 15 years. BUT its usage in studies that help better understand disease or development has been almost non-existent.

Engineers and biologists join forces to explore the mysteries of vimentin intermediate filaments! Learned so much from Ming Guo, @aaandmoore.bsky.social, Ohad Medalia, Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, Dave Weitz, and Bob Goldman. Thanks to @natcellbio.nature.com for thoughtful edits rdcu.be/ezkWF

Many thanks to Brown Engineering and @tejaladesai.bsky.social for the Dean's Award for Excellence in Mentoring Grateful for the talented students and postdocs in my lab - it's a privilege to work with you during these formative stages of your careers. engineering.brown.edu/news/2025-05...

Excited to start collaborating on Anti-Cancer Immunoengineering with @weldeiry.bsky.social www.brown.edu/academics/ib...

Honored to be interviewed by @naturemethods.bsky.social about my lab philosophy Many thanks to Vivien Marx @vivienm.bsky.social for writing this and the many lab members past and present who have collaborated scientifically. nature.com/articles/s41...

Collective Transitions from Orbiting to Matrix Invasion in 3D Multicellular Spheroids https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.10.636936v1

Inspired by a brilliant Gordon conference on directed cell migration 🤔 Many thanks to Sally Horne-Badovinac and Robert Insall for all their hard work! @robinsall.bsky.social
