Why do we lose so much talent in academia?
Let’s talk about it – openly, together, responsibly.
NEXT TUESDAY AT 5:30 PM.
PI Forum Brno #7 | Feb 3 @ CEITEC MU
For all PIs, PhDs & researchers in Brno.
Chaired by @fabianlab.bsky.social
New Paper Alert!
1982: WNT discovered
1990s: NOTCH enters the stage
2000s: “Let’s study pathways separately.”
2025: “Actually, they talk to each other.”
Welcome to the era of WNT-NOTCH crosstalk
Great collaboration with Mašek lab (CZ) and G. Collu (US)

So proud of my team.
Talented, hardworking, growing every day.
Being there for them is my biggest joy.

Abstract. Multicellularity emerges from the ability of cells to undergo functional differentiation. One of the key mechanisms that enables this coordinatio
Welcome to Brno 🇨🇿
Our two new exchange students, Alba Macipe Feito and Ana Moreno Llorente 🇪🇸
They will study molecular and cell signalling for the following four months 🔬
Good luck and godspeed 🚀

Behind every research paper, there is a long story that is usually invisible to the reader. Our paper is no exception. What began as a focused cell biology project gradually developed into a broad, co...
🔥 New paper out!
PRICKLE3 is not just another PRICKLE.
It stabilizes VANGL, blocks CK1ε phosphorylation, suppresses RNF43, and rewires WNT/PCP signaling across species.
Big mechanism. Big fun. 🐸🔥

We mapped PRICKLE1–3 interactomes and identified PRICKLE3 as a key WNT/PCP regulator that stabilizes VANGL via CK1ε–RNF43 control, revealing a PRICKLE3-specific mechanism shaping polarity across verte...
