The Tissue Morpho and Mechanics Laboratory, led by Dr. Shinuo Weng at Johns Hopkins University, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to our research program focused on tissue morphogenesis and developmental mechanobiology.

Our lab studies how physical and mechanical cues regulate tissue formation, organization, and remodeling during development. We integrate in vivo embryonic models, stem cell-derived systems, quantitative microscopy, and computational modeling in our studies. Ongoing projects include gastrulation, neurulation, and cardiac tissue development, while postdoctoral fellows are strongly encouraged to pursue new research directions that broadly align with morphogenesis.

We are particularly interested in, but not limited to, research directions involving:


+ Tissue morphogenesis in embryonic and developmental contexts.

+ Stem cell-derived and organoid models that recapitulate developmental programs.


We seek ...
