Thank you to my PI @marketa-kau.bsky.social and my collaborators on this work!
I’ll be giving a talk on this at the virtual #Evol2026
Thrilled to receive the SSE President’s Award for Outstanding Dissertation Paper! Grateful to the selection committee for this recognition.
This work is based on my first first-authored PhD paper in @evolletters.bsky.social , where I applied a single-cell phylotranscriptomic approach to profile the evolutionary emergence of skeletal cell types. doi.org/10.1093/evle...
In the spirit of good news today, I’m excited to share that I’ve started my postdoc at the @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social!
I am joining the @canaztekin.bsky.social lab to study limb regeneration in vertebrates. Stay tuned!
Embryos are most alike in mid-development — the classic developmental “hourglass”. New research shows this pattern is already built into individual cell lineages. Find out more: www.evolbio.mpg.de/3867602/news...

Facial diversity in birds and mammals doesn’t just come from different signals – but from how cells respond to them. A new study in Science Advances shows evolution acts on both: signal placement and cellular interpretation.

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders?
In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸

Why mammals cannot regenerate limbs like amphibians do presents a long-standing puzzle in biology. To uncover the underlying differences, we compared amputation responses of embryonic mouse (Mus musculus) and Xenopus laevis tadpole limbs. Lowering ...
