Associate Professor @MITBiology. Interested in how cells generate force and how they work together to sculpt tissues.
Watch the movies while reading our newest. Great work from Jasmin Imran Alsous, with @NicolasRomeo17, Jonathan Jackson, and @frank_m_mason. Another great collaboration with Jörn Dunkel's group who provide the critical connection to balloons. @MITBiology pnas.org/content/118/10…
Check out this excellent profile of Professor of Chemistry and @MITBiology Catherine Drennan (@Drennan_Lab) recently published in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Join us at the 2025 Cell Contact and Adhesion @GordonConf. Great people and great science!
Cell and developmental biologists--Join us at the 2025 Cell Contact and Adhesion @GordonConf. We've assembled a strong and diverse program of speakers at the cutting-edge of science in our field 1/n Please RT grc.org/cell-contact-a…
Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's @natclarke8 excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!

IMO in career decisions, too many people optimize for what they think they’re entitled to when instead, opting into cool shit and proving themselves will often result in way better outcomes than they expected in the first place
I am incredibly excited and honored to be running for the Secretary position for the Society of Developmental Biology! If you are a member, I would appreciate your support and your vote. I'd love the opportunity to serve our community in this way. Thanks!! Plz RT!
So much successful science involves people behind the scenes making the jobs of faculty, students, and postdocs possible. They don't often get the recognition they deserve, but are truly appreciated by those they support. Great job John Fucillo, you are a pleasure to work with!
Building 68 manager John Fucillo’s leadership, innovation, and laid-back attitude have built a community culture that will never be taken for granted. #staffspotlight biology.mit.edu/staff-spotligh…
Congrats to @natclarke8 and Uzuki Horo for their study being highlighted by @ASCBiology.
FROM MBoC This study unravels the complex dance of the cytoskeleton during Drosophila gastrulation, revealing how Fog/Cta & T48 pathways uniquely & collectively guide early embryo development. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb… @mShaneHutson @MIT @MartinLabMIT
Dear Colleagues--@MartinLabMIT , @LindsayCase19 and I are starting to plan the 2025 Cell Contact and Adhesion GRC. One thing we'd like to do is include some speakers from Pharma/biotech. Anyone who has suggestions can DM or email me: [email protected]
According to Jay Stein PhD ’68, the Jay A. Stein (1968) Professorship of Biology at MIT "is a way to pass the baton of science, from one generation to the next—hopefully, forever." science.mit.edu/passing-the-ba…
"The cytoskeleton is boring". Ironically, I also started grad school with the thought that I would NEVER work on the cytoskeleton.
Cell biology is .... truly awesome. My take on what cell biology means to me in the latest issue of @CellCellPress celebrating their 50 years. I really enjoyed reading the pieces from everyone. authors.elsevier.com/c/1iS4aL7PXmemk
