Really excited to present the results of a fantastic collaboration with Jesse Veenvliet (@jvveenvliet) @mpicbg @PoLDresden 🤩
We find a unique mechanism for body axis elongation in mammals, different from other vertebrate species

The Lipid Brain Atlas is out now! If you think lipids are boring and membranes are all
the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by Luca Fusar Bassini with Gioele La Manno's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

Here’s the big one: In collaboration with @Honigmann_Lab, @LabShevchenko, Björn Drobot and Martin Hof we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.

Exciting application of our programmable #CellCulture matrix #DyNAtrix.
By creating a dynamically reconfigurable microenvironment, we can now invert & guide epithelial cell polarity in real time.

Our new paper is out!🥳
🧫 Mini-organs grown from cells in 3D culture = organoids.
In our study, we built a phase-field model that includes ⌚ the cell division cycle and 💧 lumen pressure to explore how organoid shapes are determined.

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
Can we simultaneously achieve deep, high-res, large field-of-view imaging without the usual trade-offs? 🤔

We did it! 😀🎉 🍾🥂
Our Excellence Cluster Physics of Life (@PoLDresden) got renewed until 2032! I am so proud of our team and all the great work we did to achieve this. At a personal level, I am really happy that the enormous effort that went into this process was successful, and truly honored to lead such an outstanding team. It took years of hard work to build the team and now we have the opportunity to take our Physics of Life to the next level. Let do this!
Thanks to everyone who helped and contributed to this success, including the PoL PIs and administrative team, the TUD Rector and Chancellor, and the university team! Thanks to all 👏
Thanks also to the @dfg_public for appreciating our trajectory and achievements, and also for their trust in our project.

Come to #Prague for #Woodstock2025. What is it? A scientific conference unlike any other. Think #BurningMan or #MusicFestival but #science themed. It'll have two parts - decentralised sessions spread in #Prague (sightsee as you move around) & #campsite event to wrap it up (1/7)
