Mid-career Group Leader position in AI in genomics at Institut Pasteur, Paris - Research Institut Pasteur and the CNRS are launching a call for a mid-career group leader position in AI in genomics. We are looking for an experienced researcher (typically with > 8 years of research experien...

There a is a joint call between @pasteur.fr and @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social for a mid career group leader position in AI and genomics (or molecular biology). Don't hesistate to spread the word if you know anyone relevant.

I am so proud of @jezcarlton.bsky.social . What a magnificent inaugural lecture, many congratulations Professor Carlton!

Honored to receive the 2025 #Sidaction Scientific “Young Researcher” Award.
@sidaction.bsky.social
Thanks to my supervisors & colleagues for their support.
Inspired to receive this trophy from #Françoise #BarréSinoussi, Nobel Prize laureate, and motivated to keep contributing to scientific progress.

Great collaboration with the Kauskot lab! See how actin oxidation by MICAL1 influences mechanotransduction, cell shape and platelet function in vivo.

F-actin disassembly by the oxidoreductase MICAL1 promotes mechano-dependent VWF-GPIbα interaction in platelets Nature Communications - To stop bleeding from an injured vessel, platelets adhere and form a clot despite high shear stress from the flow. Here, the authors show that platelet actin disassembly is...

Excited to share that our paper is out in @natcomms.nature.com
🔗 rdcu.be/ez3Gt
We uncover how MICAL1 regulates actin dynamics to enhance VWF–GPIbα binding in platelets.

Big thanks to all co-authors & collaborators !

I am very thankful to the @ec.europa.eu for highlighting my research at @institutpasteur.bsky.social . It is a privilege for me to have the opportunity of developing my professional life here.

ESCRT function, evolutionary diversity and mechanism of action The ESCRTs (Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport) were discovered in 2002 and became one of the most dynamic fields of research in membrane cell biology. ESCRTs are protein complexes fo…

Thank you Steffi and Veselin.

Beautiful cartoons on the grids of the Institute illustrating our future research centre on vector-borne diseases @pasteur.fr with lovely #trypanosomes and a tsetse fly 😉
Many thanks to Céleste Gangolphe for the exceptional work!

First official post! A new paper out about #cytokinesis in #epithelia

www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Explore our journey as we uncover how regulators of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions modulate cytokinesis efficiency, while revealing new roles for the Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex.

Aurora B controls microtubule stability to regulate abscission dynamics in stem cells Mouse embryonic stem cells remain connected by bridges for hours after cell division. In this paper, Kodba et al. show that a high Aurora B activity at the bridge leads to microtubule stabilization. S...

Very excited that the lab's first paper is out! We showed that in stem cells, Aurora B controls abscission dynamics by regulating microtubules stability and MCAK recruitment. Very happy with this streamlined version of our 2024 preprint.

Congrats!

Dynamic duo at the cell's edge: Caveolae and the actin cytoskeleton work together to sense and respond to mechanical stress. Caveolae buffer tension, while actin provides structure and force. Ultimate biomechanics team. #CellBiology #Mechanotransduction

What a sad news. Steve was an outstanding scientist and contributed greatly to midbody and centrosome biology. He was also a great colleague and an accomplished mountaineer. I will miss our scientific discussions and great hikes we did in Colorado.
