New preprint from our lab on bioRxiv: “Stoichiometric transcription factor partnerships control GABAergic neuron fate allocation” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... A great collaboration with @annrosebright.bsky.social, Connor Lynch, @chr-mayer.bsky.social, and many others.

Only a few weeks left to apply for our 4-year PhD position, using human brain organoids & multi-omic methods to study genes implicated in speech disorders. Application deadline 5 Jan 2026. Fellowship is embedded in the International Max Planck Research School. More info: www.mpi.nl/imprs-phd-fe...

📢 🚨 Technical Assistant Opportunity in Neuroscience 📢 🚨 Join us at @lmumuenchen.bsky.social and support research on how neural circuits 🧠 drive adaptive behavior! ⏳ Deadline: 15. November 2025 Learn more and apply: www.fens.org/careers/job-...

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

From RNA to evolution: Come join our next keynote lecture on the choreography of brain development by @debbysilver.bsky.social, Professor at Duke University! 📍September 15 at 11am in NQ105 in Martinsried Art by @somedonkey.bsky.social

New from the lab: Fatty Acid Metabolism Sets the Species-specific Tempo of Cortical Development through Protein Acetylation Dynamics. Led by amazing trio: @ryo2iwata.bsky.social , Isabel Gallego, @emirerkol.bsky.social, together with @steinaerts.bsky.social , @fendtlab.bsky.social

New from the Bocchi Lab in Nature Communications: Cortical astrocytes arise from two distinct progenitor lineages with specialized roles. Glad my lab could support the lineage tracing part using TrackerSeq. Congratulations to @bocchiric.bsky.social and the whole team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Interested in developmental epigenetics? So are we! Apply now to join us for your postdoc! Multiple positions across multiple groups @mrc-lms.bsky.social Projects spanning germline demethylation, gene regulation, genome architecture in development & disease 👇👇 lms.mrc.ac.uk/work/vacanci...

Ventral telencephalic progenitor maturation is gated by developmental timing, revealing a distinct regulatory logic underlying the development of inhibitory neurons @annrosebright.bsky.social @flo-neuhaus.bsky.social aus.bsky.social, @chr-mayer.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Now out in @natneuro.nature.com: Temporal control of progenitor competence shapes maturation in GABAergic neuron development in mice. Congrats to first authors @annrosebright.bsky.social, Yana Kotlyarenko, @flo-neuhaus.bsky.social, and thanks to all collaborators! www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/n

📢 Announcing the MOPITAS Autumn School on Spatial Transcriptomics Data Analysis – taking place November 12–14, in Munich. Don't miss this excellent opportunity to deepen your expertise in data science and multi-OMICS analysis - especially as a PhD student in the data science community.

Attended the Neurogenomics Conference @humantechnopole.bsky.social in Milan earlier this week. Impressive host institute and an inspiring environment. Thanks to the organisers for putting together a strong and engaging meeting. #NeuroGen25

Our group leader @chr-mayer.bsky.social is one of the awardees of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) Pilot Awards for a novel research project on the role of genetic mutations in chromatin-modifying enzymes in the development of autism – Congratulations!! 🎉 🧠✨

Big thanks to #SFARI for supporting our research through a 2024 Pilot Award. This funding will help us explore how mutations in chromatin regulators ASH1L and SETBP1 impact the development of inhibitory neurons and contribute to autism spectrum disorders. www.sfari.org/2025/04/08/a...

Alert! Postdoc positions available - at least two. Interested in coming to Karolinska and work on adolescent development/schizophrenia? Have a background in neuroscience, functional genomics, computational analysis or spatial transcriptomics? Large data sets available for analysis. Get in touch!
