Image analysis of collective cell migration in epithalial and cancer cells
Key characteristics of wound healing and cancer metastasis are migration of multiple cells with more or less degree of coordination (collective migration). In this project, we collected movies (time-lapses) of various types of cancer migrating on substrates of different mechanical properties. We are looking for students to develop and apply image analysis pipelines to analyze the time lapses. Analysis is done using a combination of computational tool that involve ImageJ (image registration, drift correction), MatLab (particle image velocimetry) and Phyton (statistical analysis and plotting). The student will have the opportunity to aid high-impact science in a dynamic and international environment.

Engineering devices to study the mechanics of cell
We are looking for one dedicated student to work on a mechanobiology project aiming to investigate short-range cellular forces involved in regulating cell mechanics. The student will fabricate devices using cutting edge microfabrication tools and will aid a PhD student in performing microscopy experiments involving epithelial and cancer cells. The student will have the opportunity to aid high-impact science while learning cutting-edge bioengineering technologies in a dynamic and international environment. Dedication and passion for science and biomedical engineering are the main requisites.

Mathematical and computational modelling of embryonic development, continuation
This iPre is part of an interdisciplinary project that will study a self-organizing collective of two cell types in the early embryo of annual killifish (see image). We will utilize advanced methods from developmental biology, microscopy, image analysis, and microfabrication to track the behaviour of cells in embryos and in vitro culture, and construct mathematical and computational models of their interactions. Our aim is to understand the principle mechanisms that give rise to self-organized emergent behaviour at multiple scales from molecular, through cellular, tissue and ultimately to whole embryo structure. The aim of the iPre project is to develop mathematical and computational models using: Python, C++ and other programming languages Differential equations and partial differential equations Finite elements Computational geometry
