Good news: I have been awarded one of the EIPOD postdoctoral fellowships at EMBL. The goal of this three-year postdoctoral fellowship is to work on a research project involving different groups at EMBL and possibly, external partners. I will work with the groups of Anna Erzberger and Alexander Aulehla on an interdisciplinary project, with Jordi Garcia-Ojalvo as external partner. The topic will be the segmentation clock, and how mechanics and movement of cells influence this genetic oscillator. More information about the EIPOD program can be found here.
