Yesterday me and my lab celebrated #20years @mpi-cbg.de. There is a lot to say about that but the pictures from the event tell it better. Thanks city of #Dresden for the nice fireworks. That was unexpected. 10 more years or so? #LoPaTs 💕

Hydra are ~basically~ immortal. Shred 50 of the lil guys to bits and pack their cells in a blob, and that blob will grow into a new Hydra... albeit with a few extra heads! This week's post is a Q&A @anaisbailles.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de about the physics of how Hydra coax order from chaos.🧪⚛️

Lior Pachter @lpachter.bsky.social from CalTech visited us this week - a real interdisciplinarian, spanning fields from algebraic statistics & geometry to computational biology. Here he is highlighting the confounding of biological signal & technical noise in single cell genomics data. @mpi-cbg.de

📣 New preprint! We present SpinePy, a modular framework that enables automated 3D spatiotemporal quantification of #gastruloids & other multicellular in vitro systems. Spearheaded by @cryaaa.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de. Check out his thread 👇 & the paper: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
