I am proud of every single paper that has come out of my lab, but this one feels truly special.

This time, we asked: How to build a gliding mammal?

Led by the stellar Jorge Moreno 🪼, I am happy to share our latest work, out in nature

Joint lab retreat with Claudia group at Leibzig zoo!
Amazed by the diversity in the shapes and functions of animal species. We’ll see which processes can be recapitulated and manipulated in vitro.
Big thanks to the organizers for the fun and stimulating activities!!

Our paper on connected cerebral organoids is out on Nature Communications. We show that cerebral organoids have more complex activity when they are connected. The connected organoids show interesting adaptation to external stimulations more quickly when we repeat stimulations.
