Woolner Lab

Sarah Woolner's lab at the University of Manchester, UK. We investigate mechanical regulation of cell division in developing tissues.

We’re looking for a PhD student to join our team:

The localisation of the mitotic spindle orientation protein, NuMA, is highly dynamic and sensitive to tissue stretch. Frogs are also great for live imaging 🐸

Check out our preprint:

Check out our new preprint on bioRxiv. We show that NuMA localisation is sensitive to tissue stretch and acts to fine-tune division orientation.

Mitotic spindle orientation and dynamics are fine-tuned by anisotropic tissue stretch via NuMA localisation https://t.co/wPQmFUN9Jf

Baby you’re a fiiiiirework!!!

Explanted Xenopus neural crest cell, microtubules (green) and actin (magenta). Imaging in frogs rocks- this is done room temp, no incubation, no problem. 🐸🔬✨

We are thrilled to announce that our @wellcometrust application to establish a Discovery Research Platform for Cell-Matrix Biology @OfficialUoM was successful! 🎉 Here’s what to expect #cellmatrixbiology 👇 (thread)

[Woolner Lab @LabWoolner]

Interested in how mechanical forces regulate cells and tissues? We're looking for a postdoc, ideally with experience in proteomics, to join us in the Woolner lab.

Thanks @YanlanMao for setting up this petition. Age limits on fellowships/grants are stifling and can prevent the best research being funded.

Remove academic age limits on ERC grants - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/SSDCKjy1Hm via @UKChange

@godinho_susana Congratulations Susana! We can celebrate in Manchester in a couple of months! 🥂

@FBMH_SR @SocialResponUoM @OfficialUoM @LabWoolner had such a fun time at the UoM Community Festival talking about Frogs, Maths and Microscopes.

Biggest story on the front page of the Financial Times.

Rightly.

UK commits scientific, business and cultural suicide.

New pre-print alert from the Miller lab @UMich_MCDB 🎉 Grad student @ShahanaChumki1 shows how Rho-mediated junction remodeling is regulated in developing epithelia. Check it out! 🐸👀🔥

@JezCarlton @Official_BSCB Congratulations Jez!

[Woolner Lab @LabWoolner]

@Poppi62 Congratulations Andreas! So well deserved, can't wait to see the medal!

[cshlxeno @cshlxeno]

Roberto @mayor_lab zooms in after his talk this morning to help out with some neural crest explants!

[Woolner Lab @LabWoolner]

@cshlxeno I really enjoyed seeing you all, albeit remotely. Loved all the questions. Just wish I could have been there in-person but covid had other ideas.

[cshlxeno @cshlxeno]

Started the day off with a fantastic lecture by Sarah Woolner @LabWoolner
Stoked to check out some animal caps later today!
