Good to see this study from Ribes & co in print: PAX3/PAX7 transcription factors control neural tube patterning by simultaneously repressing ventral fates via H3K27me3 deposition at silencers & activating dorsal fates as pioneer factors at enhancers @ribes journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Just a few weeks left to apply for our clinical PhD programme. We're looking for clinicians who are passionate about research to join the 3-year fully funded programme. Learn more and see what positions are available ⬇️ www.crick.ac.uk/careers-and-...

New preprint out! Evolutionarily conserved transcriptional regulators control monoaminergic neuron development. We uncover how ancient regulatory programs orchestrate the neurons that produce serotonin and dopamine across 550 million years of evolution. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Our latest: *Hierarchical lineage architecture of human and avian spinal cord revealed by single-cell genomic barcoding* For a summary & the digested highlights see thread🧵 from @giulia-boezio.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I am absolutely delighted to share the invited speakers for our upcoming @bsdb.bsky.social "Molecules to Morphogenesis" meeting! Registration and abstract submission is now open - join us! bsdb.org/meetings/ March 23-26, 2026 - UK

Join us next year for this amazing conference on human development from many angles The HDBI has been one of the best things I've got to take part in during my postdoc. Excited to end it with a blast!

Come and join us for a fantastic conference around all things human development and growth! Lots of talks from abstracts and a stellar lineup of invited speakers? YES. Hope to see you all there ! @wellcometrust.bsky.social

We've updated our first #preprint from the lab! A collaboration with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social 🔥 now including in vivo 🐭&👤 embryo data www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Really impressive study on spinal cord development by @giulia-boezio.bsky.social and @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social. #neurodevelopment

Thrilled to share my main postdoc work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social We used genomic barcoding + scRNAseq in chick & human embryos to reveal a lineage architecture that reshapes how we understand neural tube development & cell fate decisions 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We are very pleased to announce our joint meeting with the German @gfeev.bsky.social and the Dutch Developmental Biology Societies, which will take place in Potsdam from the 10-13th of March 2026. Registration is now open! www.uni-potsdam.de/en/gfe-meeti...

🚨 Excited to introduce FuChi (Fucci chicken), the first avian cell cycle reporter line. Thank you to all those who contributed to putting this paper together. I really think it showcases the power and beauty of the chick embryo as a developmental biology model. 🐥 🥚 🔬 @roslininstitute.bsky.social

Who knew that the perfect pasta sauce could lead to a Nobel Prize? Congrats to ISTA postdoc Fabrizio Olmeda and collaborators for winning the Ig Nobel Prize with their research on mastering Cacio e Pepe. Bravo! 🍝 🎉 Getting hungry? Here´s the recipe for delicious research: https://bit.ly/42vlpHm

Very excited to see the first Beisaw lab publication out in its final form 🥳🥳 rdcu.be/ei1I7 if you’re interested in zebrafish heart regeneration and how cardiomyocytes replace the fibrotic injured tissue (spoiler alert: macrophages play an important role), then read it here 👇

This was an incredible opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones and listen to diverse and beautiful science...and -why not- go back to pretty Bad Nauheim. Thanks to Didier for creating such a friendly and collaborative community!

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...

Reminder that the YEN Image Competition deadline is in two weeks on 1st May. Send us you scientific images and art for a chance to win a voucher and be featured on next year's YEN Conference poster.

A bit late but I also finally made it to Bluesky. What a treat to start with a fun chat with Alex. Thanks for the highlight!

Shared Roots and Divergent Paths in the Chick Spinal Cord 🐣 Continuing the poster interviews from the 3rd Crick Beddington Symposium, in this latest post, @alexneaverson.bsky.social chatted with @giulia-boezio.bsky.social about her #LineageTracing work in chick embryos. #theNodeCorrespondents

Beautiful work from an exceptional scientist. I'm so happy I made a small contribution too!

EMBO workshop on Single cell Lineage Tracing! Sept 18-21 in Sant Feliu, Girona, Spain. Registration OPEN!!!!! Tons of opportunities for talks (including some full length ones). You don’t want to miss it! meetings.embo.org/event/25-lin...
