Attention evolution afficionados!! A new European Conference of Comparative Neurobiology (ECCN) is coming up in beautiful Alicante (Spain). Join us with a spectacular list of speakers, highlighting our keynotes Gilles Laurent, Alain Chedotal, Laura Fenlon and Henrik Kaessmann.

📢A position of assistant professor (tenure) in developmental biology with a focus on IPSC/organoid technologies will soon be open to competition for a profile in neurodevelopment or development in my research team affiliated to Sorbonne University (good level in French and qualification required).

@institutcochin.bsky.social is opening a position for a scientist wishing to establish his/her independent team. Application deadline 21/01/2025. For details and application: institutcochin.fr/en/node/24264

Our new paper is out in BioRxiv. Using human fetal tissue and cortical organoids, we figured out how human bRG cells colonize the developing neocortex to expand the oSVZ stem cell niche. Turns out, it's a more complex process than we had anticipated! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Second edition of the EMBO workshop on Developmental Timing across species. Second edition organized by @trayon.bsky.social @bassemh.bsky.social @vanderhaeghenp2.bsky.social and Margerete Diaz-Cuadros Cool speakers & fun networking activities. More details coming soon.Save the date: May 6-9 2025!

‼️Job alert ‼️(please share) The lab is slowly growing 😃 I'm looking for a postdoctoral fellow in computational biology👇 Please get in touch if interested in the position!!

Excited to announce that I will start my group at @crg.eu in Barcelona next April! We will decode and engineer cell fates using stem cell models, perturbation screening and single-cell multiomics. Looking forward to the new chapter ahead!

We're excited to share our comprehensive protocol for generating human cerebellar #organoids, addressing the many requests we've received from the scientific community! Congratulations to Alex Atamian, @marcellabirtele.bsky.social, and Negar Hosseini! rdcu.be/d13Zu @natureportfolio.bsky.social

Happy to share our mouse cortical organoid system, which recapitulates in vivo tempos and cell types. We used it to identify gene expression changes across subspecies during development, which might underlie neuroanatomical differences and affect disease penetrance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
