In our lab's latest work, Afnan explores early patterning in the human forebrain using some really cool techniques.
Make sure to check it out!
Happy to have contributed to this work spearheaded by @stochastalive.bsky.social!
A ātour de forceā! First description of human early telencephalon patterning & signalling centre dynamics, coupling transcriptomics & 4D gene expression imaging.
ā”ļø Human forebrain is distinct from mouse as soon at anterior neural plate closes. First @crick.ac.uk paper from @houartlab.bsky.social
Excited to share our new #preprint uncovering how early human forebrain is patterned.
Compared to mouse, human dorsoventral and anteroposterior telencephalon patterning is strikingly delayed, which is correlated with SHH and FGF signalling differences.

At the @bsdb.bsky.social conference, Corinne introduced the Marie Johansson Prize to honour our late, brilliant colleague. The award aims to celebrate outstanding early-career researchers. Huge congrats to @giulia-boezio.bsky.social for the award and a stellar presentation of your postdoc research!
š We are thrilled to announce the very first winner of the BSDB Marie Johansson Prize!
This yearās award goes to Giulia Boezio @giulia-boezio.bsky.social, recognised for outstanding contributions to developmental biology and for embodying Marieās scientific originality and rigour.
Honoured and overwhelmed to receive the 2026 Waddington Medal. Science is a team effort, and I've been fortunate to work alongside exceptional people asking hard questions. Thank you to the BSDB and to everyone who has been part of the journey.
