@cuencam15.bsky.social synthesizes what was said today about using lightsheet in research based on her experiences in prior courses, in my lab and now at EMBL Barcelona. #LISH25 #LoPaT_alumni

We are happy to show one ourt first exciting papers. We have developed a blood-brain barrier model to study the disruptive effects caused by the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. First, congratulations to the fearless @liviapiatti.bsky.social and @alinabatzi.bsky.social rdcu.be/ezBl7

🚨 Deadline extended! You now have until August 8 to apply for the Light-Sheet Image Analysis Workshop (Jan 5–9, 2026) at Universidad Mayor in Santiago de Chile with the support of CZI @cziscience.bsky.social and @lisium-chile.bsky.social 1/3

Pre-print alert 🚨: We have developed 2D and 3D stable iPSC endothelial-differentiation models through dox inducible ETS expression. We demonstrate endothelial identity and used these models for studying malaria pathogenesis research. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🎙️ ¿Podrán los miniórganos del laboratorio sustituir a los modelos animales? En este capítulo del #PRBBPodcast #AbsolutosyRelativos, @talyadayton.bsky.social ( @embl.org ) nos habla de cómo usa organoides para estudiar órganos humanos bajo estrés. 🧫🧠 🎧 Escúchalo aquí 👉 tuit.cat/srtGj

Want to help shape a young & dynamic research group while using #organoids to ask how #chromatin dynamics, #cell_state, & the #exposome contribute to #neuroendocrine #cancer? Apply for a postdoc position in our lab @embl.org Barcelona! #cancer_models. embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/d...

The @embo.org practical course on #lightsheet #microscopy is back! Join us in #Dresden for 2 weeks with #your #samples, try the complete line-up of #lightsheet microscopes, tackle big data image analysis, sample prep, OA hardware & much more Apply now! Repost 🙏 meetings.embo.org/event/25-lsm

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

@cuencam15.bsky.social we’re excited to see you on bluesky and even more excited that you’ve joined the lab! Watch this space!

-Recently started my postdoc with @talyadayton.bsky.social at EMBL Barcelona, where I will explore the role of neuroendocrine cells in the growth of human lung organoids, with a tissue mechanics twist. 3/3

Camila Weiss (@cweissg.bsky.social ) submitted this curious amphipod we captured with Jose Palma and imaged in Chile during the EMBO Developmental Biology Practical Course. Go ahead and look at all the selected images and vote for your favourite! focalplane.biologists.com/2025/03/11/v...

How do embryos ensure precise tissue patterning? It’s all about timing cell divisions! Our new preprint reveals how cell proliferation syncs with signaling oscillations to regulate precision of somite formation and growth. Check the full story: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Imagine being an engineer asked to build a material that withstands 100% strain, 150 times per minute—for a lifetime. Now imagine having to build it while it’s already functioning. That’s exactly what the heart does.

Find out how video games helped scientists visualise limb development. Laura Aviñó-Esteban, PhD student at EMBL Barcelona and first author of a recently published study, explains how video games helped her solve the problem of fragmented limb dev. visualisation. 💻🧪 www.embl.org/news/science...

Stoked to present our latest, superbly led by Chris et al & @torres-sanchez.bsky.social We tackled a fundamental problem – how tissues are patterned during development – found that geometry-constrained ECM fractures pattern the myocardium in the vertebrate heart 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We are very excited that former Birnstiel Award laureate Kristina Stapornwongkul will return to the @viennabiocenter.bsky.social upon starting her own lab at @imbavienna.bsky.social. www.oeaw.ac.at/imba/researc...

Any master students interested in (live) volumetric imaging techniques, organoid culture, image analysis and/or micro-fabrication could drop me a line? Please share :)

Excited to share a recent preprint by Oliver Newsom, where we evaluate the functional contributions of serum for cancer cell proliferation. Inside: A broadly applicable serum-free media, Quantitative lipid uptake characterization, Evidence lipid scavenging > synthesis for cancer cell proliferation.

New blog post. Thoughts on this first year of being a new PI gonzales.science/resource-blo...

Inspiring talk from @matthieufoll.bsky.social and Lynnette Fernandez-Cuesta about the future of #lung #neuroendocrine #tumor classification and clinical management, and how to use #AI to learn simple morphological features to recognize molecular subtypes #CRCL25

The EMBL Epigenetics and Neurobiology Unit in Rome is hiring a Group Leader to work on Molecular Mechanisms of Environmental Adaptation. This is a fantastic opportunity, please repost! embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/EMBL/job/Rom...

I would love to hear your views on this article. I discuss some hurdles I faced when thinking about experiments and projects design. This is something no one formally teaches you. network.febs.org/posts/thinki...

We are very excited to announce a new @events.embl.org conference with a general focus on all infections with the goal to foster discussions across researchers working on multiple pathogens. We couldn't find a conference as such in Europe, so we decided to organize it 😊 www.embl.org/about/info/c...

🚨 Our white paper from the 1st NET Models meeting is now offically published 👇🏻 eo.bioscientifica.com/view/journal...

T​he novel I wrote this year is available free as an ebook until the end of the month at www.smashwords.com/books/view/1... Story description on that page. Political junkies may want to give this a look. It's also available on Google Play Books as both an ebook and an audiobook.

Hi! I just compiled some of the new Barcelona cancer labs! Many more missing, so let me know if anyone needs to be added! go.bsky.app/AkCGugm

So exciting! Studying malaria infection in vitro! The human malaria parasite is specific to humans: you can't study the same parasite in animal models. The lab of @mariabernabeu.bsky.social build beautiful human blood vessels in vitro, & do the experiments there: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled that my first post here is about a great team effort led by Evelien Bunnick, Thomas Lavstsen, and Louise Turner. We identified broadly reactive mAb that inhibit parasite binding to PfEMP1 asaociates with severe maria. www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08220-3

My first post on @bsky.app. So happy to announce that our work has been published in Development by @biologists.bsky.social doi.org/10.1242/dev.... Also a big thanks for "The people behind the papers" article as well! doi.org/10.1242/dev....
