@shailajaseethar is discovering how FHL2 transcriptional regulation and force-sensitive actin binding mediates vascular mechanobiology. Check out her work whenever you can!
@shailajaseethar from @squishycell1 lab presented her work on the role of shear stress in atherosclerosis, and how FHL2 activation mediates this response. Overexpression of FHL2 leads to an atherosclerotic phenotype, and knockdown of FHL2 can be athero-protective✊
Cell Bio 23 Symposia Session: Excitability
Excitability generates emergent properties in sys & in this session it is featured in actin networks in vitro & in embryos & extracellular elec generated in bacteria @BioPhysicalMoh @USC@squishycell1@UChicago https://t.co/lT7a3pqNvj
Indeed, new and exciting opportunities at Chicago for physics+math of living systems.
Related and time sensitive: two independent postdoc fellowship opportunities - apply or contact me/others for more info:

@AheadOfTheNerve Faculty calls would need to come through departments at the respective institutions - the Institute does not have tenure lines, but I'm sure will help advertise opportunities that come up!
Excited to help launch the National Institue for Theory and Mathematics in Biology, a joint Northwestern-UChicago venture funded with $50M from NSF/Simons . Please share to advertise our upcoming postdoctoral fellowship! https://t.co/tNkmHmUlcN
What are the 'rules of life'? @NorthwesternU and UChicago have been awarded $50 million from the National Science Foundation and the Simons Foundation to establish the National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology. https://t.co/x4vPaiOBfP
