Soon to open Biggs Lab at University of Helsinki! Now looking for master’s or PhD students to study stem cell fate, crosstalk with the niche, and the mechanical environment https://t.co/C7RJRcXR3C

[Wickstrom-Lab @WickstromLab]

Excited to share our latest work on an image analysis paradigm that combines cell state and morphology analyses of patient biopsies at single cell resolution to uncover clinically relevant head-and-neck #cancer phenotypes! @CellCellPress https://t.co/ijdKjiwHXl tweetorial👇

[Wickstrom-Lab @WickstromLab]

How do #stemcells integrate information to make fate decisions? Check out our latest preprint where we find that growth factors regulate the mechano-osmotic state of the #nucleus and #chromatin to determine whether to retain or exit #pluripotency🧵👇https://t.co/CB1vIDUFbX

[Wickstrom-Lab @WickstromLab]

Great to be at the @ISSCR right in our back yard😊 For latest science updates please see posters from @WindieHoefs 417 @akistub 317 @kaitlinmccreery 137 @LeahBiggs 440 all in session3 and talk from @Clem_Villeneuve on Friday morning #mechanobio session!

Check out this 🔥 preprint where my colleagues dissect the role of local tissue mechanics in establishing tissue compartments

[Wickstrom-Lab @WickstromLab]

Our latest preprint💥 Tissue deformation is critical for organ generation, but how do complex organs consisting of multiple compartments and cell types achieve this? A fantastic interdisciplinary collab with @ManningResearch https://t.co/zdBK65cqO9 short🧵👇

[Leah Biggs @LeahBiggs]

Excellent science and great fun with these fantastic colleagues! Can’t wait to put these ideas in motion!

[Wickstrom-Lab @WickstromLab]

Feeling energized after a fantastic lab retreat🤩 Great discussions on current science, lab values and future goals, so privileged to have a chance to work with this wonderful crew 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

[Wickstrom-Lab @WickstromLab]

We took on the challenge with @KateMiro1 to illustrate key aspects of #nuclear #mechanotransduction in a single #snapshot 👇Hope it’s useful! https://t.co/vdXFS9ZAhx

[Britta Trappmann @BTrappmann]

Thanks a lot for the fun interview @mate_palfy !

[Leah Biggs @LeahBiggs]

@airavaara @helsinkiuni @UH_Neuro Way to go Maryna!!!

[Leah Biggs @LeahBiggs]

Exciting times ahead!…and lots of pipetting 😂

[Wickstrom-Lab @WickstromLab]

Gearing up for a *big* experiment 🧫🧬 with @KateMiro1 & @LeahBiggs Sometimes science is mostly labeling tubes…
