Congratulations to Rong Li and Lab and all fellow scientists elected to EMBO Membership!

Time for our MUST poster session! The 2024 cohort of 10 students presented their research to the institute - a great range of projects that showcased their excellent work over the last 2 months!

🎓 Exciting News from the Mechanobiology Institute! Our PhD programme registration is now open for August 2025 intake! Embark on a journey of cutting-edge research with us. Find more details in the leaflet below or visit mbi.nus.edu.sg/education. 📚🔬 #PhD #Research

Welcome to Shao-Zhen Lin from CENTURI - Turing Centre for Living Systems Aix-Marseille University 🇫🇷🇪🇺 Europe as a Visiting Scientist. Looking forward to collaborations applying his theoretical expertise modelling collective behaviour of biological systems to further understand experimental findings from MBI labs!

Informative 🧵 from one of the MUST 2024 interns 👍 Glad you had a great experience Nikita! We hope you and the fellow interns enjoyed your time at MBI. Maybe a future career in research? 👩‍🔬

Great news! We’re looking forward to you joining the MBI community in a few months. 👩‍🔬

Learning about the latest next generation sequencing solutions 🧬, specifically single-cell and spatial omics for mechanobiology. Great to welcome back MBI alumni Dr Leong Man Chun, now Senior Director for Product and Marketing at NovogeneAIT Genomics Novogene AMEA (APAC, Middle-East & Africa) !
