We are a cell biology lab based at the University of Washington established in 2022. Computational modeling, human stem cell genome-editing, fluorescence microscopy to study forces by the actin cytoskeleton in endocytosis. matsulab.com
Congratulations to our newly graduated Benjamin Brown, we'll miss your mathematical brain, rigorous questions, and book/movie ratings! Can't wait to see all the Awesomeness you'll get up to in grad school! ✨🎉🎓
Grad student Maggie gave an excellent flash talk today about how failure is an essential part of learning and becoming a well-rounded scientist. How can we create a classroom and lab culture that helps students acknowledge and learn through failure?
We're excited to be at the Northwest Developmental Biology Meeting #NWDB2026 at #FridayHarbor. Such an amazing range of research happening in the PNW, and we've enjoyed hearing from such a wise range of scientists at different stages of their career!
Wondering what the role of actin in CLIC/GEEC endocytic scission is? Well, Maggie is here to tell you how we're going to find out! #NWDB2026
Honored to be one of the Moore Foundation Postdoctoral Fellows at @uofwa.uw.edu. Grateful for the support from @moorefound.bsky.social and excited to pursue research applying computer vision to cellular membrane reconstruction @matsulab.com.
UW News@uwnews.uw.edu · 6mo ago@uofwa.uw.edu was awarded $2.5 million from the @moorefound.bsky.social to fund 16 postdoctoral fellows in a number of fields across the @uwartsci.bsky.social, the College of Engineering and the @uwenvironment.bsky.social. www.washington.edu/news/2026/02...
Team "My Brain is a Sandwich" was feeling really great about their impromptu bar trivia answers at our end-of-the-quarter happy hour! We didn't win, but we had a great time!
Lab lunch/Goodbye lunch. We're sad to see you go, Emma, and excited for you as you go out into the world! Featuring: Fred pointing and also some tiny pigs on the table. #PassThePigs
It was wonderful wonderful to join Hanna' graduation party and meet her friends and family. Hanna was the first undergraduate to join our lab more than two years ago! Congratulations, Hanna! 🎉🥂
Congratulations to our newly graduated Biology Majors Emma and Hanna! 🙌🏼🎉🎆 #UWGraduation @uwbiology.bsky.social

Grad student Abhishek presented his research on using an integrated approach to study load adaptation of actin networks in endocytosis at the MBTG talks today! 👏
Kicking off the new year pondering about our goals and priorities for this year using rocks, pebbles, and sand. #RocksPebblesSand #MatsuLab #GroupMeeting #AcademicLife
Sunday's poster session at #ASCB2024 allegedly featured 3D printed protein models, matsulab stickers, and engaging discussion! Congrats, Abhi! @ascbiology.bsky.social
Check out the digital story that @valeriebenti.com put together as part of UW Libraries Video Storytelling Workshop that's all about actin, endocytosis, and what we work on in the #MatsuLab! youtu.be/4PNVl69UH6E
Digital Story: What drives collective behavior in cells?
As part of UW Libraries Storytelling Fellows: Video Storytelling workshop, Valerie (Akamatsu Lab lab manager) created a short digital story about the collective behavior of actin in cells, and an overview of the lab's research focus.

New lab mascot, maybe? (Yes, we already have stickers made!) #ActinArchitect #3DPrinting #GooglyEyes #LabLife
Yesterday was a perfect day for "beta kayactin" and drinks with the Termini Lab! #MatsuLab #TerminiLab #AkaMini
Congratulations to Abhishek for successfully passing his general exam! #MatsuLab's first PhC and we couldn't be more proud! 🍾🍰🥼
Congratulations to #MastuLab member Danish, who presented his capstone project on Tuesday and is graduating today! 🎉🥳
