A real computational tour de force by @ericneiva.bsky.social, carried out as Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow in the team, now published in the Journal of Computational Physics: urlr.me/AuzK86 Congratulations, Eric! @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social Grateful to @ec.europa.eu for funding support

How can we learn tissue mechanics directly from cell patterns and images? In our new preprint, we introduce VertAX, a differentiable vertex-model framework in JAX for simulating epithelia, inferring parameters, and designing target tissue behaviors. shorturl.at/PUzT0 1/5

The abstract deadline for the CSHL Cell Modeling in Space and Time is this Friday 10 April. Don’t miss out!

Glad to see our work discussed in Quanta Magazine shorturl.at/VXa7E. In the early embryo, building a cavity can start by “fracturing” cell-cell contacts, creating microlumens that then coarsen into a single cavity. @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

Excited to start a new chapter with my team’s relocation to the Pink City, at @cbitoulouse.bsky.social! Looking forward to new scientific interactions on campus (@laas, LPT, IRIT, ANITI…) at the interface of biology, physics & computational science. @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @occitanie.bsky.social

How does a ball of cells become an embryo? Genes matter—but physics (forces, geometry, topology) drives self-organization. Hervé Turlier's research vision on the physics of embryogenesis👇 shorturl.at/761x9 #Embryogenesis #Biophysics #Morphogenesis @college-de-france.fr @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

This postdoc position is still open! Apply if you want to come work with us on asymmetric cell divisions in spiralian embryos! postdocs.stanford.edu/prospective/...

Our first paper submitted to the International Conference on Computer Vision @iccv.bsky.social has been accepted! 🎉 Huge congratulations to all co-authors — Sacha Ichbiah, Anshuman Sinha, and Fabrice Delbary — for their fantastic work. Stay tuned… we’ll share more about deltaMic in a few days!

Job Alert! We are recruiting one postdoc to work on spiralian embryos and their crazy polar lobes. More info about this HFSP-funded position on our website baronelab.org: scroll to the end, click on "this could be you"...start your adventure!

Great time with @sugimuralab.bsky.social, Shuji Ishihara and colleagues at Tokyo University 🇯🇵. Thank you for your very kind welcome and great scientific discussions 🙂

Very excited to share a new preprint by @ericneiva.bsky.social who developed a first-of-its-kind finite element method for simulating 3D cellular dynamics with coupled surface–bulk flows and signaling. A technical tour de force with broad applications in mechanobiology & beyond tinyurl.com/bdfhfke3

First post on bsky for a very good news. Very glad to be awarded this HFSP with @chemamd.bsky.social & @baronelab.bsky.social to study the evolutionary biophysics of spiralian early asymmetric divisions ! @hfspo.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @collegedefrance.bsky.social @cirbcdf.bsky.social
