An ovarian follicle poised for ovulation, with the oocyte at its centre. Cell membranes are shown in orange and DNA in blue.
How does an ovarian follicle remodel in space and time to release an egg? 💥🥚
We have an exciting PhD project combining follicle culture, advanced imaging and quantitative analysis to understand the cellular dynamics of ovulation. 🔬
Co-supervised by me and @guignardlab.bsky.social. Please share! 🌱
I'm hiring! I have 2 open positions:
🔬 Postdoc
🧪 Research associate
We study how animal multicellularity evolved by exploring the molecular logic of cell adhesion using cell biology, 'omics, and tool-building in non-model organisms.
Come join us!

9pm Switzerland time, y'all! I'll be talking about how neurons are like onions. Tiny onions.
Sort of. Look, you'll have to be there 🧪🧅🐟
