Pathway to Independence – an interview with Louis Prahl. Development 1 August 2024; 151 (15): dev204224. doi: https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.204224 Download citation file: Louis Prahl is a postdoctoral fellow in Alex Hughes' lab in the Department of Bioengineering and the Center for Soft and Living Matter at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA. He is interested in how epithelial cells organise into complex structures and in developing engineering strategies to control tissue organisation. Louis is one of the 2024 fellows of the Pathway to Independence Programme. We caught up with him to talk about his physics and bioengineering background, his interdisciplinary research interests, and his plans as an independent researcher. Let's start from the beginning, when did you first become interested in science? My dad was a professor of geochemistry and oceanography, and occasionally as a family, we would visit his field sites in places like the Columbia River Estuary. I have always
