Your Tasks We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with a strong biological background to join our interdisciplinary team at the interface of cell biology, biophysics, and tissue mechanics. Project Overview Epithelial tissues cover most internal and external surfaces of the body and must continuously adapt to environmental challenges while preserving barrier function. A key regulatory mechanism is cell extrusion, a process by which epithelial cells are eliminated from the monolayer, either as apoptotic cells or as living cells during EMT, morphogenesis, or early tumor invasion.
