Huge thanks to Monize Caiado Decarli for asking me to speak about being a #NewPI in #TissueEngineering @eutermis.bsky.social! Great questions from the audience on being a woman in science, building a lab from scratch, and how my childhood growing up around the world shaped the professor I am today.

Honored to give a keynote at the 4D Tissue Engineering session @eutermis.bsky.social organized by Miguel Castilho, @ruidomingues.bsky.social, and @rita-s-almeida.bsky.social! Particularly exciting to receive questions on our unpublished work - coming soon to a preprint server near you ☺️💪🏽

Happy to share our recent work on Extracellular vesicle hydrogel. Now hopefully researchers in the EV community do not have to worry about the minimal loading efficiency of EV into a pre-formed hydrogel. Instead, one can use EV itself as a building block for hydrogels. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our new work @natcomms.nature.com! @mayorlab.bsky.social discovered that cells perform durotaxis even without focal adhesions. How? Well, we found that they actually follow friction gradients — a new mode of directed cell migration that we call frictiotaxis! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How can organs regenerate fast? Bioelectricity helps -- by coupling sub-second electrical injury signals to regenerative proliferation. First preprint from my potsdoc :D with @liujinghui.bsky.social @ritamateus.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de and collaborators @mpipks.bsky.social @csbdresden.bsky.social
