Do you research endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) or want to learn more about them? 🧬🤔 Consider presenting at or attending AuusiERV - an inaugural online symposium for ERV research in Australia 🇦🇺 (and abroad) 🗺️ Abstracts due 1st October! events.humanitix.com/aussierv-2025 #ERV #retrovirus

📣 Our department is hiring an Assistant Professor in Evolutionary Cell and Molecular Biology to join the @weillinstitute.bsky.social PLS spread the word! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30607

🚀 Looking for a Bioinformatician / Data Scientist to join our crew and explore regeneration through single-cell genomics & evolutionary biology! @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social 📩 Questions? Contact us ✉️ 🔗 Apply here: www.mpg.de/25243280/bio...

I am excited to share that I will join the Friedrich Miescher Institute @fmiscience.bsky.social in Basel as a group leader, starting my lab in March 2026 🎉 We will explore cell fate regulation during organogenesis, with a focus on how cell elimination underlies the emergence of functional tissues.

Finally out! 🥳 Our paper showing how a transposable element (TE) insertion can cause developmental phenotypes is now published @natgenet.nature.com 🧬🦠🐁 Below is a brief description of the major findings. Check the full version of the paper for more details: www.nature.com/articles/s41588-025-02248-5

🧬🌽 Happy Transposon Day! 🌽🧬 Today we celebrate the birthday of Barbara McClintock - scientist extraordinaire and discoverer of jumping genes. Still the only woman to have an unshared Nobel Prize in the biomedical sciences #TransposonDay2025

Come to Lund! We are looking for a postdoc to join the team. #transposons #epigenetics

Thrilled to announce that I am looking for a Research Technician/Assistant to join my lab @imbavienna.bsky.social. Please consider applying if you’re enthusiastic about #devbio #stemcells #teamwork and excited to help shaping a new lab! Thankful for any retweet! 🫶 imba.onlyfy.jobs/job/l6u2m980

New preprint of my postdoc work! We found a novel group of zinc-finger proteins that rapidly evolved in a lineage-specific manner to repress regulatory activities of transposon-derived sequences through anchoring nucleosomes. #TEsky biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thank you for this fantastic opportunity! Hope you’ll find the elements even stranger after my talk.

Very excited to share our paper on Gene and Transposable Element expression in mammalian preimplantation development, online today! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... A short thread to highlight some of our findings 🧵

🚨Why can’t mammals regenerate legs or arms like frog tadpoles or salamanders? Our preprint tackles (part of) this BIG question with surprising findings about oxygen sensing 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉 🐭 vs 🐸 #evodevo #regenerative #cellbio 🧵👇
