About: mchugh
Biography:
- I am interested in understanding how molecular forces shape development. My fascination for developmental biology began with flies while working in the lab of Dr Lolitika Mandal, IISER Mohali as B.S.-M.S. student. During my PhD at University of Tübingen and Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology, Tübingen, I learnt single-molecule biophysics techniques and utilised them in understanding how plant cells position their cell division plane. I worked with Prof Erik Schäffer and Dr Sabine Müller. Currently, I am a postdoc in Prof Sean Megason lab at Harvard Medical School understanding forces during patterning and morphogenesis in zebrafish. Twitter: mayank_mchugh
