The Epithelial Mechanics Fan Club is a vibrant, non-profit platform dedicated to #EpithelialMechanics. Our mission? To bridge the gap between experimental biology and physics, and to give early-career researchers (ECRs) a global stage to share their passion.
Currently, we operate accounts on Bluesky and X, where we share research papers and mini-review threads curated by our fantastic community delegates.
Founded on July 23, 2023, by Nimesh Chahare and joined by Julia Eckert, the club has grown into a collaborative platform for researchers. Read more about our journey on FocalPlane.

The Epithelial Mechanics Fan Club is currently managed by:
- Dr. Nimesh Chahare is a postdoctoral fellow at EMBL Barcelona. His research focuses on the intersection of mechanical engineering and developmental biology, specifically exploring the self-organization in neural tube organoids.
- Dr. Julia Eckert is a DFG Walter Benjamin Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at The University of Queensland in Australia. She is an experimental biophysicist and enthusiastic image analyst dedicated to investigating the mechanisms of morphogenesis using concepts from soft matter physics.
