Just landed in Frankfurt 🇩🇪. I'll be visiting EMBL in Heidelberg tomorrow and Friday!

If you're around, let's meet!

Extremely thrilled to share that the Zygnema #genomes paper is now out Nature Genetics We hope that this will be a great resource for all #plantsci #algae MadLand #evolution rdcu.be/dGnWJ

For those in Barcelona! Anna Erzberger (Erzberger Group) will be giving a talk 'Geometry-driven organisation in living matter' at the Barcelona Collaboratorium on Thursday (02/05/24) at 10:00 am. Come to her talk! She is a excellent speaker!

🔜Register now on @EMBL Imaging Centre User Symposium 17-18 Oct 2024, in Heidelberg, Germany.

📌The symposium will feature the amazing research of our users and will be an excellent opportunity to connect and start collaborations.

“Horizon Europe must be reinforced by focusing on the most effective programmes such as the European Research Council”

Emmanuel Macron stressed Europe should become “a continent that invests in breakthrough innovation & advanced fundamental research'.

📢 P L E A S E spread the word‼️ Registration is open for The International Plant Proteostasis Conference, in VIENNA, 17-20 September, 2024: oeaw.ac.at/gmi/news-event… Great line up, exciting topics, and friendly meeting. Please register early. #ippc24

Ksena Bondarenko joined my lab determined to expand the #toxoplasma cyst - after a couple of years of hard work she cracked it! Hope this preprint is useful….

A decade or two ago we could only dream of having genomes for all species of a major branch of the tree of life. Thanks to the Y1000+ Project, the dream is now reality! Kudos to HittingerLab Dana A Opulente The Lab LaBella Marizeth Groenewald & the whole TEAM science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

Our latest paper! A promising avenue for therapeutic intervention in fibroses, characterized by excessive ECM production, via targeted inhibition of TANGO1-mediated ER export.
TANGO1 inhibitors reduce collagen secretion and limit tissue scarring

Won't make it to this (expected-to-be) amazing meeting due to another commitment 😭 Don't be like me! Don't have another commitment, register and attend

1/42 New preprint: turns out MuLTEE is not only the longest running multicellularity evolution experiment (1000 days and counting), but also the longest running polyploidy evolution experiment! It reveals how whole-genome duplication (WGD) arises and impacts long-term evolution.

Final few places remaining at our Diversity and Evolution in Cell Biology Meeting this June in Spain. Last year’s meeting was over-subscribed so apply soon to avoid disappointment. View the programme and register to attend by 3 May biologists.com/meetings/jcsev…
