Lammerding Lab

Hello! The Lammerding Lab @CornellBME and @weillinstitute is now on Twitter! Here is what you can expect from this account: highlights of our #mechanobiology work, pretty fluorescent images and videos, gushing over our team members, and more. Follow us!

I cannot stress this enough: pairing a 4% funding line with the largest cut in NCI history will devastate the future of cancer research - and patients. We would be turning our backs on decades of progress.

⚠️New Conference! Join organizers like @KateMiro1 and more at #MBNSRC to explore the field of nuclear mechanobiology and its physiological relevance for cell and tissue function. With keynote speaker Ana-Maria Lennon Dumenil of @institut_curie. Check out all speakers and save…

A great article on why supporting NIH (and also NSF) funding is so vital for the US, no matter which political party you support. open.substack.com/pub/yourlocale…

Thanks to @Co_Biologists for the support! Cytoskeleton meeting sept 2025 in Lyon/france 👇 registration with QR code in the pic @ConnectingIFs

We traveled to DC to talk to Congressional Staffers about the impact of @NIH @NIBIBgov funding. It enables us to develop synthetic biology tools to advance cell & genetic medicines for patients in need. REPOST to deliver the message that SCIENCE saves lives & makes America great!

Please spread the word about this foundation dedicated to dilated cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in the LMNA gene. It helps connect patients and provide them with resources and connections to clinicians and researchers.

If you know anyone with Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (#EDMD) or want to support research on this disease, a patient family we have been working with has started a new foundation (cureEDMD) to raise awareness for this devastating disease: cureedmd.org Please share!

Another great reason to come to @Cornell @CornellEng @CornellBME - Ithaca ranked the #1 Best Town to Visit in America by @CNN. Lucky to be in a place where the surroundings are so interesting and beautiful. #Ithaca is Gorges cnn.com/travel/ithaca-…

🫀 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐋𝐌𝐍𝐀 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐌𝐍𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐜 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 (𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨) This is part 1 of a 6-part series on LMNA-related cardiac diseases and the impact of LMNA gene mutations on heart health. 🎥 Watch & share to raise awareness! #LMNA #HeartDisease

🚨We're soon opening 3 postdoctoral positions in #AIDrivenBiology. Seeking biologists (especially microbiology and infection biology), computer scientists, and microscopy developers. Ideal if you're eager to use or develop next-gen tech for cell biology. Get in touch (DM/email)

Journal of Cell Science is published by a not-for-profit charitable organisation (@Co_Biologists) that exists to benefit science, not shareholders. We provide Travelling Fellowships, Training Grants, support for ECRs and more. For details, visit: journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/reas…

Pasolli, Meiring, Akhmanova et al. (Utrecht University) describe tools to acutely relocate #vimentin intermediate filaments by inducibly coupling them to microtubule motors. hubs.la/Q03wf_F20 @psychescope @gijsjekoenderi1 #Technology #Cytoskeleton

Interested in a #postdoc on cardiac #mechanobiology? Our lab has a fully funded position via our recently awarded @HFSP grant to study the biophysical processes that build insect hearts🪲🪰🫀 Come join us @MBIsg for some cool evo-devo-mechanobio work! 👇 mbi.nus.edu.sg/jobs/seeking-p…

Join us at @MBIsg!

The NSF’s proposed FY26 budget request includes a staggering 50% reduction in funding. It’s alarming that leaders can’t- or won’t -grasp the long-term damage this will do to our research, innovation, and the future of America’s scientific workforce.
