🎉I am very excited to share that the Di Bella lab started at Fundacion Leloir in Argentina 🇦🇷. We will continue to study genetic and molecular mechanisms behind neuronal diversification in the cerebral cortex. We are now hiring at all levels 🧠 www.leloir.org.ar/nuevo-labora...

Building a lab without a massive startup package? It’s scary, but it’s possible. 🛶 In Ep 2 of "From Postdoc to PI," discover how to turn constraints into power with : Vatsala Thirumalai, @danielajdibella.bsky.social @sahbabesh.bsky.social 🎧 Tune in now: www.buzzsprout.com/1356877/epis...

I’m thrilled to share my postdoc work and the first paper from the McKinley Lab! 🎉 @karalmckinley.bsky.social We built the first transgenic model of menstruation in mice. We used it to uncover how the endometrium organizes and sheds during menstruation. 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵

Development matters: V2a neurons derived from distinct progenitor lineages show lasting molecular & functional differences despite identical culture conditions Direct TF reprogramming produces neurons with only superficial similarities to authentic cell types www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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...

We’re thrilled to pre-advertise an EMBO Workshop we're organizing, featuring an incredible lineup of speakers! 🎉 Bring your unconventional models and join us in Edinburgh next June for an exciting and inspiring event. Stay tuned for our official poster and website, coming soon! 🧪
