I am a HFSP postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Andrew Oates at EPFL, Lausanne and I did my PhD with Prof. Stephan Grill at MPI-CBG, Dresden. My major research interest is in understanding biophysical mechanisms by which (a)symmetries are established in the three principal body axes of embryos. I have extensive experience in working with both C. elegans and zebrafish model systems and my expertise lies in performing advanced microscopy and developing custom image analysis algorithms.
Mechanical heterogeneity along single cell-cell junctions is driven by lateral clustering of cadherins during vertebrate axis elongation
