Welcome to the Developmental Mechanobiology lab

We aim to understand how forces arising in the cytoskeleton of embryonic cells drive morphogenesis and left-right symmetry breaking. Our research operates at the intersection between cell biology, developmental biology, and biophysics. Our lab is part of the Institute of Molecular Genetics (Prague) and situated at the BIOCEV (Vestec). If you are interested in joining the lab, contact the team leader: Teije Middelkoop, teije.middelkoop@img.cas.cz
