📖Published📖 Pacherres et al. present a simple, modular experimental platform that enables spatial mapping of steady, laminar flow and O2 concentration fields over biological tissue surfaces in a 3D printed, laminar flow chamber 💨 Read the article 👇 buff.ly/RU93P2a
I would bet that Don Bryant knew more about phototrophic physiology than anyone who has ever lived on Earth. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
I am thrilled to receive a Future Fellowship from @arc_gov_au. The project, "Understanding the role of microscale fluid dynamics in biology", aims to develop novel mathematical models and experimental tools for investigating microscopic fluid flows in biology. @SciMelb @UniMelb
Cyanobacteria are never alone in Nature. Which bacteria do they interact with and how? We describe a stable cyanobacterial community reproducibly forming spatial structure and document metabolic interactions/processes within. Read here to learn more: academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…
It was great to meet the @FlImagin3_DN team again and to see the impressive progress of all our PhD students.
#FluorescenceFriday the 3rd @FlImagin3_DN consortium in Milan! ~Halfway of PhD so many exciting directions in #FLIM #cancermechanics #diatoms #organoids #SPIM #FRET #heartrepair and more with @drmgmonaghan @Femtoscopist @MicroSensing @hang_zhouFLIM @melissa_skala @chiarellast ..

Take a look at our new article where we present a system to spatially map oxygen and flow fields around corals and algae 🪸@MicroSensing besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20… Thanks to @MSCActions @VILLUMscience @MooreFound

Thank you friends, colleagues, students and collaborators for the many nice interactions and accomplishments in 2024 @MicroSensing sends you best wishes for relaxing and merry xmas 🎅and a great 2025🍾Keep up the (team)spirit and good (team)work!
Congrats Dough👍
Really excited to share the news of being promoted to Associate Professor at @UniMelb @MelbMathBio @SciMelb. brumley-lab.science.unimelb.edu.au
Mic to Mic is back on the 15th of December at Mokkariet! Come and hear "The Magic Pocket" play indie rock and talk about research the band members are doing! We will also be joined by Eleonora Nigro @nigrelex who will make live drawings of the band member's research!🔬
