Preprint highlights, selected by the biological community
I am a senior postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Pavel Tomancak’s lab at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany. I am a developmental biologist/geneticist and study mechanisms that underlie collective cell migration in rotating organ-like egg chambers during Drosophila oogenesis. In general, I aim to understand the basic principles behind tissue movement and what defines tissue/organ shape in animal bodies. I am interested in planar cell polarity, actomyosin networks and tissue tension.
