I'm looking for a PhD student to work on dendritic cell chemotaxis. Fully funded, application deadline 24th of Sep. Join our new lab in beautiful Turku Turun yliopisto - University of Turku. Lots of live cell imaging! More info (proj.2): sites.utu.fi/tohtorikoulutu… or DM. Please share 🙂

Latest from Ivaska Lab▶️ Johanna Lilja, Kaivola et al. report an unanticipated way to kill KRAS mutant cancer cells by disrupting SHANK3-KRAS interaction 👌😎 Congratulations to all the authors and check the paper out here 👉rdcu.be/dTQDP

Wickstrom-Lab & myself are happy to announce the program for the upcoming Fibronectin, Integrin & Related Molecules Gordon Research Conference. This is one of the oldest GRC conferences around (since 1982) & we put together an OUTSTANDING program for y'all. Registration is open.

Congratulations to our new Dr Nicolas Pasquier who beautifully defended his PhD thesis yesterday, in front of 6 jury members! Nicolas has been a joint PhD student b/w us and the JaulinLab at Gustave Roussy.

We wrote a fun review all about the different types of mechanosensing and the ways cells regulate these important processes. Check it out!

Another "not to be missed" review on "The role and regulation of integrins in cell migration and invasion" by Ivaska Lab Johanna Ivaska @MeganChastney J.Kavola, , V-M. Leppänen

Third of the year and the biggest review article now out! Massive effort from @MeganChastney, Jasmin Kaivola, Veli-Matti Leppänen & Johanna Ivaska! Discover all about integrins in migration, invasion and cancer right here: rdcu.be/dVB6n Congratulations to the team 🥳!

New pre-print! Gautier FOLLAIN and team develop a super cool pipeline to work out the intricacies of immune and PDAC cell adhesion to HUVECs and extravasation under flow. Fantastic collab with @guijacquemet lab and Research group of Professor Marko Salmi. Congrats🥂 Take a look here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The best way to rejuvenate after an all-day lab meeting, you ask? An action packed game of laser tag (pew-pew!)🔫🔫 Major missing :( boss Johanna Ivaska

Excited to share our latest work on an image analysis paradigm that combines cell state and morphology analyses of patient biopsies at single cell resolution to uncover clinically relevant head-and-neck #cancer phenotypes! Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/… tweetorial👇

About a month ago, I defended my thesis prepared in Ivaska Lab and JaulinLab A day full of science, and the end of a big life chapter for me!

I'm never quite sure if my images are good enough for a #FluorescenceFriday post amidst some microscopy legends, but taking the risk for the first time here^^' Focal adhesions 🟢 Mitochondria ⚪ Actin 🟣 and DAPI 🟡

Ivaska Lab has now moved to bluesky 🦋!! We will keep this handle active for a few more weeks during this transition, although all the fun science updates will soon only be 'there' :) You can find us with the same name, looking forward to re-connecting with everyone😊

The most recent preprint from our most recent PhD graduate Dr Nicolas Pasquier. Orientation of mucinous CRC apicobasal polarity is regulated by tumor-stroma interactions. This work was a collaboration with JaulinLab at the Gustave Roussy Institute. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share some of my PhD findings! Go check out how A/B polarity orientation is controlled in CRC metastasis Ivaska Lab JaulinLab ▶️ biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Ivaska Lab at the TurkuBioscience Pikkujoulu party 🥳 Can you recognize our costumes? 😉

Jasmin from Ivaska Lab will defend her thesis this Friday!

New preprint alert!📣 Michal Dibus and team take a deep dive into Tensin1 liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and the mechanisms of how it regulates adhesion dynamics! Check out the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Johanna Ivaska

We are very proud to announce Johanna Ivaska as recipient of the Biennial Finnish Science Award. Johanna was described as a distinguished researcher with pioneering work in cell biology. Warmest congrats from all of us, boss! utu.fi/en/news/news/f…
