We were awarded an Austrian Special Research Program SFB grant on “Stem Cell Modulation in Neural Development and Regeneration” together with the groups of Elly Tanaka (IMP), Jürgen Knoblich (IMBA), Noelia Urban (IMBA), Simon Hippenmeyer (IST Austria), Gaia Novarino (IST Austria), Frank Eddenhofer (Uni Innsbruck), Kristin Tessmar-Raible (MFPL), Florian Raible (MFPL), Arndt von Haeseler (MFPL). Our network of stem cell and developmental biologists will offer multiple opportunities for collaboration, new projects and training for postdocs and students. We are currently looking for a Scientific Project Manager, click here for details.

Our paper “Neuronal differentiation affects tissue mechanics and progenitor arrangement in the vertebrate neuroepithelium”
was finally published in Development. We develop a vertex model of the mouse neuroepithelium and show that the tissue growth rate influences the anisotropy of tissue growth.
