So pleased to announce that the first chunk of my graduate work is out now in Developmental Cell 🫁🐭🔬 here we investigated the role of the planar cell polarity complex in lung sacculation, identifying a PCP-independent role for Vangl in the pulmonary mesenchyme authors.elsevier.com/c/1isRC5Sx5gxk…

I had a lot of fun talking to Marcel Jüngling about some of the open & reproducible science projects I have been involved in during my PhD :) check it out if you are interested in those topics 👇
