Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University @Columbia @CUSEAS | Living Materials | Morphogenesis

[Karen Kasza @Kasza_Lab]

Check out new work from my group, led by Erika Kusaka @erikamkusaka and Sassan Ostvar @sassan_ostvar, uncovering how epithelial cell rearrangements play out in 3D, out this week in PRX Life @PRX_Life!

[PRX Life @PRX_Life]

A study of 3D cell shapes and tissue structure in fruit fly embryos shows how epithelial cells exchange neighbors over their full apical-basal span during convergent extension — revealing new insights on the structure and dynamics of remodeling epithelia.

[Karen Kasza @Kasza_Lab]

Delighted that the most recent paper from our group has been published in @CurrentBiology! This work was led by @XunWangPhD along with Christian Cupo, @sassan_ostvar, and @ndrewcountryman and explores how cell-cell adhesion levels impact tissue mechanics and flow @CUSEAS

[Xun Wang, Ph.D. @XunWangPhD]

Excited to share that my work @Kasza_Lab @CUSEAS @Columbia has just been published in @CurrentBiology!🎉Check out our paper on how cellular-level adhesive forces tune tissue-level morphogenesis and impact development here: https://t.co/LwRLrrgJBi #Science #Engineering #Research

[Virtual Gastrulation Zoom Talks @VGZT2020_21]

Get ready for our next episode of VGZT, this time we will have a special focus on Tissue Morphogenesis!🌟⚡️🎉 Do join on Thursday, Feb 8 12:30 EDT/ 18:30 CET/ 17:30 UTC with @ndrewcountryman @TimESaunders!!!📅

[Karen Kasza @Kasza_Lab]

@Kasza_Lab is at #cellbio2023! Lots of posters and talks starting today - come by and say hello!

[Karen Kasza @Kasza_Lab]

Delighted to be included in the first issue of PRX Life! This is the latest work from Marisol Herrera-Perez along with Christian Cupo, Cole Allan, and Alicia Dagle on optogenetic interrogation of tissue fluidity!

[PRX Life @PRX_Life]

In this #PRXLife study, the authors use optogenetics to precisely control actomyosin, a protein involved in cellular movement, clarifying its role in epithelial tissue during Drosophila embryo development. https://t.co/jaATtOzW8m

Thank you @celestemnelson! I had such a fantastic visit. It was so great meeting with the folks at @EPrinceton and seeing so many old friends!

[Tissue Morphodynamics Group @celestemnelson]

Still smiling after yesterday's beautiful seminar presentation from the dynamic @Kasza_Lab! Grateful that she chose @EPrinceton for her first in-person visit since the pandemic started. Morphogenesis is beautiful and a fantastic problem for engineers and physicists!
