We are pleased to share that our recent project on the “Development of a microfluidic mechanodeformation platform for analysing force-dependent phosphorylation in living cells” has received funding from the Biochemical Society as part of their Eric Fund for Methodology programme.
This project will kick start our collaboration with the group of Dr Marc Fernandez-Yague, combining our expertises in chemical biology and mechanobiology to investigate how force-dependent phosphorylation signatures can be used to establish robust cellular models for studying mechanotransduction signalling.
This work will be started by our recently graduated MSci student Grace Ando, who will stay for an internship in our lab over the Summer. Furthermore, the Master’s student Karla Sarai Leon Martinez from the Fernandez-Yague group will support our work with this new cellular models. We are looking forward to uncover novel insight in mechanobiology with this fantastic team!
