Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded a FIS-3 Advanced Grant (ERC-inspired) to study the evolution of neurogenic GRNs.
Recruiting soon: 4 postdocs + 3 PhDs

Congrats, Ido! 🦈🤩
Really happy to join NeuroPSI at Paris Saclay to lead a research group funded by an ERC Consolidator grant #ERCCoG . We'll study the origins of the vertebrate brain using shark embryos. 🦈 🧠 Reach out if you are interested in joining the team 🤍

Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.
A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner
His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.
An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers

If you're a neuroscience professor (assistant/associate/full) and would consider relocating to the vibrant and booming city of Dublin, please get in touch!
We have a job opening for postdoc with expertise in bioinformatics and a strong interest in regeneration. We work on (successful) spinal cord regeneration in the zebrafish. Get in touch if that’s something that would interest you!

Our work on lineage tracing with somatic epimutations is finally out in @nature.com!
Check out the thread by @larsplus.bsky.social below.
EPI-clone is a revolutionary technique for lineage tracing and it will immediately impact how we trace clones everywhere.
Detailed protocols coming out soon!
I'm still processing all the amazing interactions and possibilities this meeting brought. Different fields and expertise converging in a common interest: brain evolution. It was fantastic. Thanks to the organizers @borrell-lab.bsky.social @k4tj4.bsky.social ( Nerea Moreno, Fernando and Zoltan)

We're hiring! Our lab is looking for a postdoc to investigate the #evodevo of #cephalopod brains. Did you recently graduate, and do you want to join our EU #WEAVE project with the Simakov and @simon-sprecher.bsky.social labs? Find the application form👇Thanks for RT 🐙🦑

One of the reasons I love #DevelopmentalBiology is that it's so visually engaging. I had the pleasure of organising an image competition at the GRC last March, and share this passion. You can now check out these images on @the-node.bsky.social: thenode.biologists.com/grs-developm...
We recently wrote a review about neuroimmune interactions in retinal repair. We dive into the literature regarding immune influences in Muller glia reprogramming, cell transplantation, and axon regeneration. Hopefully its useful, free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1k-FL4pAsj...
Many thanks to @borrell-lab.bsky.social @k4tj4.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social for organising #ECCN2025 and bringing together such a variety of research and species! I truly enjoyed the experience! Stay tuned for the next edition #ECCN2028 in Leuven! (Or Tenerife, still have to decide hehe)
My buddy @karenecheverri.bsky.social just published her latest (with a minor assist from yours truly) on how tail regeneration in #axolotls relies on brain activity. Specifically neurons in the telencephalon that project to the hypothalamus. #regeneration #cutemascot www.nature.com/articles/s41...
