I'm excited to announce that our cephalic furrow paper is out! We investigated the function of this enigmatic invagination using live imaging and modeling and found that it plays a mechanical role during fly gastrulation https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.30.534554

Hi #ScienceMastodon, time for an #introduction!
I'm an #EvoDevo biologist interested in how tissue #mechanics influences the #evolution of #morphogenesis. I study a deep and mysterious epithelial invagination that forms at the head-trunk boundary of #flies during #gastrulation, known as the #CephalicFurrow (see video below!). Currently, based in Germany as a postdoc in the Tomancak Lab at MPI-CBG. Looking forward to meeting you!
