BIF Fellowship for Tara McAteer

Tara McAteer, PhD student in the Pinheiro lab at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), was awarded a prestigious fellowship by the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds (BIF) to study how mechanical forces control morphogen signalling in embryo development.

Tara McAteer joined the lab of Diana Pinheiro at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) through the Vienna BioCenter PhD Program in January. She has now received a competitive fellowship from the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds (BIF), which will support her research on how tissue mechanics shape key signalling events in early embryonic development.
