I'm so pleased to see this work on neural crest development out in Nature today! This was a truly fantastic collaboration with @gleesonlab.bsky.social, Keng loi (Harry) Vong and @xiaoxuyang.bsky.social. Huge thanks to everyone involved 👏 🧪🐣 #devbio

Looking forward to this meeting.
Early bird registration encouraged!!
We are thrilled to announce our new preprint from the wonderful @sorayavillaseca.bsky.social
Ever wondered how cells squeeze through tiny spaces in embryos?
Neural crest cells use Dynein to transport their nucleus along microtubules.
Check out the preprint!!

New paper alert!🤩Super proud that our story led by superstar postdocs @liujinghui.bsky.social and @nerlielisa.bsky.social is finally out! We found how electrical signals are key for promoting organ regenerative growth!!! A thread 🧵https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aec0687
We are pleased to welcome 8 new fellows to our Pathway to Independence programme.
Welcome Maëlle Bellec, @iamzico.bsky.social, @evhealy.bsky.social, @josepmercadal.bsky.social, @nikhil-mishra.bsky.social, Jessica Perochon, Yamini Ravichandran & Margherita Zamboni.

Organ repair and growth rely on coupling tissue-wide membrane depolarization with intracellular proliferative signaling.
Job alert! 📣 I’m looking for a research assistant to join my new team @idrm.ox.ac.uk

It was a pleasure to host @glgalea.bsky.social for a seminar today @dcu-lsi.bsky.social.
Gabe gave a very enganging talk linking neural tube closure with stochastic asymmetries in embryo geometry and developmental robustness.
Thank you all for joining!
Excited to share our new publication on the mechanics of cranial neural tube closure. A really enjoyable and fruitful collaboration bridging Developmental Biology and biophysical modelling. Take a look here!

Pérez-Verdugo et al. show that hindbrain neuropore closure is driven by surface ectoderm
actomyosin purse-string tension and active migration. These forces create reproducible
