Seven early-stage TU/e researchers have been awarded a Veni grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO), which is aimed at researchers who have recently obtained their PhDs. Pepijn Moerman, Kathrin Hövelmanns, Mirunalini Thirugnanasambandam, Rob Wolfs, Rianne Conijn, Dinesh Krishnamoorthy, and Clemens Dubslaff will each receive a grant worth 280,000 euros to conduct research over the coming three years. Pepijn Moerman: Fake sticky cells to study cell motion . For cells to transition from a shapeless clump into a living plant or animal, the cells need to move by pushing their respective neighbouring cells out of the way in a process that can be referred to as cell sorting. Cells can also stick to each other, and this can affect the cell rearrangement process. Currently, it is unknown how changes in the stickiness of cells might affect cell movement.
