I’m so happy to have been part of such a fruitful and, above all, FUN collaboration! Physics and biology come together to help us understand the fundamental mechanisms of embryonic development. There’ll be more news soon, so stay tuned 👀

Our paper is out in Nature Physics🎉 We uncovered how mouse epiblast cells acquire orientational order guided by tissue boundaries, combining 3D quantitative imaging with theory. A wonderful collaboration with @ErzbergerGroup and @pguruciaga at @embl! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our latest paper is now out in @NatureMaterials! 🎉

We show that tissue geometry alone can predict where biological structures emerge during early embryonic development. We expect this organisational principle to apply well beyond living systems.

Our recent paper is featured on the cover of @NaturePhysics March issue!

We show how tissue boundaries guide large-scale cellular organisation, combining imaging, data-driven analysis, and theoretical physics.

Lots of exciting science ahead! 🎉

EMBL @embl Sep 4, 2025

Congratulations, Michael Dorrity and Anna Erzberger!

The two EMBL Heidelberg group leaders have received ERC Starting Grants that will enable ambitious projects related to developmental timing and tissue self-organisation, respectively.
