Congrats to the new Dr. Jared Collette from @cellsmb @UnimelbBME

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Feeling excited and lucky to be working with @Gonzalo_dlMonte, Hieu Nim, Mirana Ramialison and Eric Hanssen @big_french_man to investigate the origins of non compaction cardiomyopathy in our #NHMRC ideas grant.

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Grateful to be part of @UnimelbBME and School of Chem and BME. Thanks for supporting our research through this internal Outstanding Research Award. Thanks to key mentors and colleagues within who played a part in this outcome over several years.

This week's #PhilTransB issue explores heart muscle form and function at sub-cellular scale, and how the internal organisation of muscle cells in the heart play an integral role in heart function and remodeling. https://t.co/NLRtKZYsqs @vj_rajagopal @OFishialLab

Today is @cellsmb student @AfshinK91 PhD completion seminar. His work has put @cellsmb on the map with DL tools like EM-Net, EM-Stellar and CardioVinci (see below). Every completion seminar makes me feel grateful for being able to work with such great students

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

I am so excited! And I just can't hide it! Coming out in October! Thanks to the authors of this special issue!!

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Excited to share that I am now an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Physiology's Computational Physiology section.

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Out now is freshly minted @cellsmb graduate Dr. @Qilin__Yu 's paper: Role of actin filaments and cis binding in cadherin clustering and patterning https://t.co/4Za8mVwSMq

@BindiBrook @CarinaDunlop @sharpgao @robinsall @vj_rajagopal We have plenty of slots for contributed talks or posters, and travel awards for researchers without funding, thanks to @LondMathSoc and @UKRI_News . Thanks especially @bkprdp for an amazing job on the organisation. Link is here https://t.co/S69BnuvVbd 2/

[Fabian Spill @FabianSpill]

Excited to announce the workshop on Mechanical Modelling in Health and Disease in Birmingham 7/8th September. We have an exciting lineup of speakers, including Rachel Bearon, @BindiBrook ,Igor Chernyavsky, @CarinaDunlop , @sharpgao , @robinsall and @vj_rajagopal 1/

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Thanks for the plug @BiophysicsAus . In this pre-print review article we put forth the motivation for and state-of-the-art in biophysics-based and spatially detailed computer models to predict single cell physiology.

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Excited to be starting this journey with @DrMikeGWatson within @SMB_MathBiology . If you are interested in modelling all things cardiovascular, join us.

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Current issue of @biophysJ features work by @cellsmb PhD student Qilin Yu on cell-cell adhesions.

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Our computational model of cell-cell adhesion now available at Biophys J:

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Very proud of @jaredcollette31 . His PhD completion seminar yesterday was a fantastic example of innovation in computational mathematics to gain deeper understanding of how cells migrate. Great questions from the audience made for a very engaging session!

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

We are on the lookout for an outstanding PhD student with #appliedmathematics, #biomedicalengineering or related backgrounds to join us on this exciting frontier of computer modelling and cell biology. #phd #research

[Vijay Rajagopal @vj_rajagopal]

Honoured, excited that I will be guest editor for Phil. Trans. B @RSocPublishing with Holly Shiels and Christian Pinali at U. Manchester. Our issue title: The cardiomyocyte: New revelations on the interplay between architecture and function in growth, health, and disease
