I have some BIG NEWS to share today! Today I begin my next adventure as Chief Editor of Nature Biomedical Engineering!! (a thread) @natmethods.nature.com @natbiomedeng.nature.com @natureportfolio.nature.com

We’re hiring! 🚀 Junior Lab Tech / PhD student (cell & mol-bio) to push our Calipers tech into 3D #gastruloids. Must already have Italy work permit (sorry, can’t sponsor). Love stem cells + CRISPR? DM or send CV by 31 Aug 2025. #hiring #StemCells

#CALIPERSv2 🚀 preprint is locked—journal submission next. Final polish, more hiPSC reference lines, and fresh light-sheet data. Still, a great collaboration led by @moisesdisante with the team @LabPhysiology and the amazing @berterolab.bsky.social and @florianjug.bsky.social group members! 1/N

A tour de force that elevates the #CALIPERS technology to a whole new level! A must read for all iPSCs, cell cycle, and developmental biology aficionados.

The preprint is now available! Check it out... and... if you want to repost, why not 👇the post down here👇, so others get the bioRxiv link right away? Oh, and... 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬! 🙏 doi.org/10.1101/2025... bsky.app/profile/flor...

Immagine you could image two cellular structures in the same fluorescent channel and still reliably get them separated afterwards… What would you do with this? Now… what would you do if that also worked with 4 structures at once? 👇 #MicroSplit #preview🧵

🔬🎤 As pre-announced a few days ago... please let us proudly present to you: 𝑴𝒊𝒄𝒓𝒐𝕊𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒕 - your ticket to imaging more, imaging more gentle, and/or imaging more efficient. 🔬 doi.org/10.1101/2025... Like ❤️, repost 🔂, and most importantly... please send feedback ✉️ our way! 🙏

And @berterolab.bsky.social joined us here on Bluesky, give him and his amazing lab a Follow!

Hello, Bluesky! ☀️ We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late. Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

HYDRA supports fluorescence microscopy, enabling cell-cycle and cytoskeletal analyses with FUCCIplex sensors using CALIPERS (biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). From cell proliferation to mitotic spindle dynamics, this method works with cutting-edge imaging and image-analysis modalities.

And works with organoids and light sheet microscopy as well!

I'm happy to announce a postdoctoral position is available in my lab. We have lots of great data to analyze with respect to transposons & epigenetics and cool biological questions to answer. Please reskeet and share.

Applications for our Quantitative Imaging: From Acquisition to Analysis 2025 course (Mar 24-Apr 8) are due on Jan 31! Come immerse yourself in microscopy and image analysis with me, @talleylambert.bsky.social, @bethcimini.bsky.social, @florianjug.bsky.social & Hunter Elliott! Please RT

This is wild. I made a silly little post yesterday. Richard responded with a joke, and then "Cassandra" hopped in the thread. I thought her responses were weird, but then Richard caught on and posted this. Clever way to catch a bot!

And here is pre-print 2/2! *HYDRA: HYdrogel Dispensing with Robotic Automation* - a scalable solution for drug testing. Great work by 1st author @eloisa_torchia and team with help from the labs of @sgabriele.bsky.social Elisa Cimetta and Johan Lind biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

With @florianjug.bsky.social's team, we developed an open-source FUCCIphase plugin to calculate CC phase percentages, thus enabling CC-aware morphology/motility analyses in live cells.

I posted these on the other app before the holiday, but new year, new platform. My lab posted two pre-prints: - CALIPERS: Cell cycle-Aware Live Imaging for Phenotyping Experiments and Regeneration Studies - HYDRA: HYdrogel Dispensing with Robotic Automation keep reading to find out more!

*Scientific writing tips* For what it's worth, I put together some points that frequently come up when I revise or review manuscripts. www.huber.embl.de/group/posts/...
