Adam Martin

Associate Professor @MITBiology. Interested in how cells generate force and how they work together to sculpt tissues.

Watch the movies while reading our newest. Great work from Jasmin Imran Alsous, with @NicolasRomeo17, Jonathan Jackson, and @frank_m_mason. Another great collaboration with Jörn Dunkel's group who provide the critical connection to balloons. @MITBiology https://t.co/4v5PJ5cnzn

@TanentzapfLab Have I got one of those coming for you!

[MIT Chemistry @ChemistryMIT]

Check out this excellent profile of Professor of Chemistry and @MITBiology Catherine Drennan (@Drennan_Lab) recently published in @PNASNews!

Join us at the 2025 Cell Contact and Adhesion @GordonConf. Great people and great science!

@la_yemu Congrats Yanín!

Thus, we showed a relay system that doesn’t just result in a wave of the same shape change, but a trigger mechanism for one mode of morphogenetic change jump-starting another.

Pleased to share the publication of our paper showing the role of EGFR in coordinating morphogenetic movements in Developmental Cell. Congratulations @MITBiology postdoc, @natclarke8 for all your hard work!

These cell adhesion complexes serve as a scaffold to recruit actomyosin through patterned mechanical feedback. Thus, EGFR + mechanical pull recruits actomyosin. Work from @StreichanS demonstrated this patterned feedback and we showed that it is linked to EGFR.

Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's @natclarke8 excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!

@MandanaMsrp @EliezerCalo @MIT @kochinstitute @WhiteheadInst @MITBiology Great talk!

[Adam Martin @MartinLabMIT]

@PichaudLab I did a similar route last month. Sea wall was great, such beautiful views!

IMO in career decisions, too many people optimize for what they think they’re entitled to when instead, opting into cool shit and proving themselves will often result in way better outcomes than they expected in the first place

@JTroyLittleton This is hilarious!

[Adam Martin @MartinLabMIT]

@lbackman21 That is amazing!

[Adam Martin @MartinLabMIT]

@marko_kaksonen @Ch_Bioch_UNIGE @sciences_UNIGE @unige_en Congrats Marko, very well deserved!

[Adam Martin @MartinLabMIT]

@JosephCampanale @unlv Congratulations, you will be a great PI!

[Adam Martin @MartinLabMIT]

@jbwallingford @jbwallingford must have been giving his talk.

@MandanaMsrp @MITBiology Much of science is finding ways to perform mundane tasks in a way that entertains you and serves other purposes as well. It took me ~ 10 miles of walking to flip the entire collection of flies.

@seyeon_chung @vishakha_v96 @NIH Good luck Vishakha!
