Congratulations to Gautam Dey (EMBL) and Omaya Dudin (University of Geneva) for being awarded the EMBO Gold Medal 2026 in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the #LifeSciences in Europe! 🧪 https://www.embo.org/press-releases/embo-gold-medal-2026-awarded-to-gautam-dey-and-omaya-dudin/
📢 We are looking for a Junior Group Leader to join us at @institutcurie.bsky.social!
Having joined the department just over a year ago, I can honestly say that it is an exceptionally stimulating and supportive scientific environment, filled with outstanding colleagues — all in the heart of Paris.
We're happy to announce our new preprint! 🐸 easymode: general pretrained networks for cellular cryo-ET. Segment ~20 cellular features – ribosomes, microtubules, mitochondria, nuclei & more – with zero model training. 🔗 doi.org/10.64898/202... 🧵👇

1 week to start🔥
New @focalplane.bsky.social webinar series focused on #CellMigration, register & join us▶️, it will be fun!
pls spread the word, in the next one, ECRs could apply to show their work ;)

🚀 New preprint on bioRxiv!
How do physical boundaries shape collective cell migration? We show that geometric confinement progressively suppresses ERK signaling waves and slows collective epithelial migration by pushing tissues into a mechanically compressed state.

✨Rare model organisms can teach us how to build a body differently. In snail embryos blastomeres can be as big as the rest of the embryo! 🐌Phrontis vibex blastula stained for tubulin (gray), phalloidin (blue) and histone (magenta). 🔬

We often picture eukaryogenesis as a symbiosis between two lineages: an archaeal host & the ancestor of mitochondria.
But what if the origin of eukaryotes emerged within a much more complex microbial ecosystem?
A fascinating study from @tonigabaldon.bsky.social et al. explores exactly this. 🧵

Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature.
Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis.
