@nicolasrivron.bsky.social and I look to recruit a postdoc through the VIP3 rogramme to investigate post-implantation development of blastoids.
Contact us if you are interested, and let your colleagues who could be interested know!
🚨 Out now! 🧫 In a new study in @embojournal.org, PhD student @moberhuemer.bsky.social (Leeb lab) presents a simpler, feeder-free way to grow human naïve pluripotent stem cells - making the system more scalable and accessible ➡️ tinyurl.com/29wrcdru

Eliminating the confounding effects of human pluripotent #stemcell co-culture with MEFs:
@grazianomartello.bsky.social @leeboratory.bsky.social @jzylicz.bsky.social and collaborators describe a serum coating approach for feeder-free culture of naïve hPSCs

🔬 Love science and keeping a lab running smoothly? Join the @leeboratory.bsky.social as a lab manager/research technician and help uncover how cells choose and maintain their identity 🧫 More information ➡️ tinyurl.com/y7a8he88
SY-Stem 2026 is here! The symposium focusing on the next generation of stem cell researchers returns to the Vienna BioCenter from 11–13 March 2026. Register online: sy-stem.org
❕The @leeboratory.bsky.social seeks a new Master's student! Your 🫵 project will involve stem cell culture, genome engineering as well as molecular biology. It aims at elucidating the genetic circuitries that regulate cell fate decisions in the early mammalian embryo ➡️ tinyurl.com/4awtk2n3
📢 Open Call! The Max Perutz Labs invite applications for a Full Professorship in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease. More information ➡️ tinyurl.com/3yn883b8
Congratulations!
Congratulations, Simon!
Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury.

A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka.

Reminder: deadline to apply for the Stem Cell Summer School is 30th May. And it's May already! So you have to apply this month!
A limited number of bursaries are available.
p.s. this year, the summer school coincides with the Spetses Armata Festival, so there will be a big party on the island 🙂
Exciting postdoc opportunity in our group to develop new pluripotent stem cells

Can metabolism regulate more than bioenergetics during human development? Our new study says YES! We show that metabolism influences cell fate choice in human naïve pluripotent stem cells, histone acetylation, and trophectoderm maturation. rb.gy/spqr9j

We’re already warming up the motors for next week’s SY-Stem Symposium, organized by IMBA and the IMP, which focuses on the next generation of stem cell researchers and gives them the opportunity to connect and share their research with their peers.
Program details here: www.sy-stem.org
Congratulations @sebastianfalk.bsky.social ! Well deserved.
SY-Stem 2025 Symposium: Registration deadline on February 15th!

Congratulations Annika and Pavel. This is a great paper!
Congratulations to you both!
Congratulations!
Introducing the 2025 SY-Stem Speakers! This year’s symposium again features excellent speakers, and is headlined by two fantastic Keynote Speakers: Fiona Doetsch from the University of Basel and Mitinori Saitou of the ASHBi Institute of the Kyoto University.
We are happy to contribute to this exemplary collaborative study aimed at improving the efficiency of working with human naïve ESCs without MEF feeder cells. With @grazianomartello.bsky.social, @jzylicz.bsky.social, @pasquelab.bsky.social, and @nicolasrivron.bsky.social
