We had the pleasure of hosting prospective students for our '26–27 Biophysics cohort this week!

It was wonderful meeting such thoughtful, driven, and curious scientists.

Safe travels, and we hope to see you back soon! 🧬

[Stefano Morotti @MorottiLab]

Back from #bps2026, as always a fantastic meeting for great science and the pleasure of reconnecting with friends and colleagues.

Kudos to @Fazeelat_Mazhar and @Forouzandehmehr for brilliantly representing the lab with their outstanding poster presentations!

[Stefano Morotti @MorottiLab]

Looking forward to hosting @JMPioner's "Frontiers in Pharmacology" seminar next week!

Pharmacology Seminar in 2 weeks!

[Stefano Morotti @MorottiLab]

New paper out! Thank you @emilia_entcheva for involving us in this exciting project!

[JMCC Plus @JMCCPlus]

🫀New research demonstrates that high-throughput, label-free optical oxygen measurements can assess adrenergic effects in iPSC-derived #cardiomyocytes.

Paired with all-optical #electrophysiology, this enables scalable, human-based preclinical testing.

New paper out!

We developed sex-specific atrial myocyte models that reveal that female AFib patients might be more prone to delayed afterdepolarizations, and males more vulnerable to alternans, with distinct mechanisms and drug responses: https://t.co/O2vhR5cTLS
