New edition of the great Quintay Developmental Biology Course !!! More information at: biodesarrollo.unab.cl

Please help us to promote the next version of the Developmental Biology course (Quintay Chile). More information in: biodesarrollo.unab.cl

Frugal design, previously demoed at @devbioquintay.bsky.social 🐟🌎

A fascinating review on the role of Activin in organ induction. Isn't it wild that in Xenopus embryos, a piece of the animal cap can be induced with Activin at different concentrations and buffers to form the ❤️, kidney, the pancreas, head, tail, and even a whole embryoid 🤯: doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...

Congratulations @mayorlab.bsky.social on this awesome-deserverd recognition by the @socdevbio.bsky.social ! Dr. Roberto Mayor career is a powerful example of the excellence, leadership, and creativity that #Latinx scientists bring to #DevelopmentalBiology!

It’s a real honour to receive the Viktor Hamburger Outstanding Educator Prize from the SDB. Teaching is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Thanks to the SDB and the hundreds of students and faculty at the Quintay course who have made it such a joy.

Early Career Opportunity Mentorship & career development, access to world-class facilities, and a collaborative, supportive environment. We are particularly interested in researchers in Synthetic Dev. Biol. Mechanobiology and AI . #AcademicJobs #EarlyCareerResearcher #UCL #DevelopmentalBiology

@devbioquintay.bsky.social Alumni at the 2025 @isdb.bsky.social / @socdevbio.bsky.social / LASDB meeting with @mayorlab.bsky.social 🇵🇷 #2025SDB #2025ICDB #2025LASDB

Quintay alumni meet-up at the #ICDB2025 meeting in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Always great to meet with the Latin American community working in developmental biology around the world 😃 @devbioquintay.bsky.social @mayorlab.bsky.social

congratulations @matyasbl.bsky.social

Embryonic induction of fate is a core concept in developmental biology. But, cells can also modify the physical state of surrounding tissues a process we call 'actuation'. I reviewed with @mayorlab.bsky.social 3 excellent papers that show how actuation and feedback can drive changes in the embryo.

Thank you, Marcos Simões-Costa (Harvard Stem Cell) and Joao Botelho (P Univ Catolica), for leading the chick module at the @EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile! From grafting beads to Light Sheet microscopy with @zeiss_micro, it was an inspiring journey of discovery!

Thanks to Nipam Patel and Matthew Parent from the Marine Biological Laboratory MBL, Woods Hole, US, for their great support to Latin American Science

The EMBO Dev Biol course in Quintay, Chile, dives into zebrafish embryos under the expert guidance of Corinne Houart (@KingsCollegeLon) & Leo Valdivia (@CIBumayor). Students are hands-on with exciting experiments, exploring the wonders of development! #DevBiol #Zebrafish

The EMBO #DevBio course in Quintay, Chile is in full swing! Students are diving into Drosophila biology with the amazing Nipam Patel, Director of MBL- Woods Hole, leading the way. Inspiring science in Latin America! #ScienceEducation

registration is still open!!

We kicked off the EMBO #DevBio course in Quintay, Chile, with two outstanding virtual lectures by Anne Grapin-Botton and Nicoletta Petridou @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social, with excellent participation from Latin American students. Huge thanks to EMBO for their support!

We're gearing up to kick off the EMBO #DevBio course in Quintay, Chile, for Latin American students in just a few days! 🎉 Huge thanks to @uandresbello, @DiarioMayor, @umayoroficial, @CIBumayor, @MBLScience, and @EMBO for making this possible! 🌎🧬 #ScienceEducation

In 1999, we began organising Practical Courses on Developmental Biology with M Allende, first in Santiago and later in stunning Quintay, Chile. Over 25+ years, we’ve trained hundreds of students in DevBio, with over 90% becoming PIs in the field! Join us in celebrating 25 years of teaching DevBio

Join us in celebrating 25 years of the Practical Course on Developmental Biology! This special event will feature alumni of the course, now PIs from around the world, as speakers. Come to beautiful Quintay to enjoy a unique blend of science, sea, and food – all for free!

Excellent study on #Xenopus #gastruloids shorturl.at/PTaB2 @mayorlab.bsky.social exploring mechano-chemical interactions during #gastrulation. Another example of the versatility of multicellular embryonic self organizing systems to explore fundamental principles of #PatternFormation. #NotInTheGenes

We've wondered for a while why #gastruloids are so sensitive to initial cell numbers. Here www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... led by U, Fiuza, we explore this & observe effects of a number of variables on final structure and think what this tells us @ embryogenesis #IInNumbersWeTrust #NotInTheGenes

We have moved the social media related to the Quintay Developmental Biology course, please follow us there

I attended this course 15 years ago, now the first PhD student in my lab will be there :) Wishing this group a great time in Quintay!

We have moved to this new location as we prepare to launch a new edition of the Practical Course on Developmental Biology, Quintya-2025. This course began more than 25 years ago, and we are excited to bring together an excellent lineup of faculty and students for this latest edition
