Latest from the lab: the immensely talented Johnny Bou Rouphael and Laila El Khattabi in the team report the discovery and functional analysis defective splicing in a human developmental disorder. www.linkedin.com/posts/bassem...

For those who understand Arabic 😊 A podcast about @bassemh.bsky.social work and career. Thank you Haifa Alhadyian, PhD for this amazing initiative. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

Excited to share our latest paper in Nature Communications! We uncovered a dev-time transcriptional program (via Mirana → Pink1) that shapes mitochondria & circuit wiring. Disrupt it early, and neurons miswire — even if the gene recovers later!

Registration is now open for 2026 GRC on Neural Development @neuraldevgrc.bsky.social Register early because places go fast!

Latest from the lab, the beautiful work of Iryna Mohylyak and colleagues describing a temporal developmental transcriptional program for mitochondrial quality control and synaptic connectivity, with @jdejuan-sanz.bsky.social, Olga Corti and @steinaerts.bsky.social labs www.nature.com/articles/s41...

👋🏻 Bluesky!

Bassem Hassan @bassemh.bsky.social, Corey Harwell & yours truly are co-chairs for 2026 Neural Development #GRC August 2-7, 2026 in Newport, RI 🇺🇸 - if you are interested in updates on the conference & to hear about our 🤩 line-up of speakers...follow @neuraldevgrc.bsky.social! 🧠🪰🐭🐙🐸🦎🧒🏻🧫🧪🧠

Congrats to the fantastic @maheandria.bsky.social on this well deserved recognition from French Academy of Science

This journey began in Berlin with @bassemh.bsky.social and Robin Hiesinger, and continued at @institutducerveau.bsky.social in @hassanbraindevlab.bsky.social , with the generous support of @frm-officiel.bsky.social . Grateful to the von Kleist & Stoeckli Labs and all co-authors!

A temporal sequence of genetically encoded stochastic mechanisms explains variation in stereotyped neuronal circuits in Drosophila 🧪🧠 @bassemh.bsky.social @maheandria.bsky.social @hassanbraindevlab.bsky.social @institutducerveau.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New from the lab: @maheandria.bsky.social and colleagues in collaboration with the Hiesinger, Stoeckli and von Kleist labs dissect the sequential emergence of axonal targeting during development in today's issue of Nature Neuroscience: rdcu.be/ek010

Hot off the press: The excellent Maheva Andriatsilavo and colleagues show how a temporal sequence of stochastic molecular mechanisms allow the emergence of stereotyped individualised neuronal circuits. Just published in Nature Neuroscience: rdcu.be/ek010
