Thank you to @yaseminsaplakoglu.bsky.social, who wrote a fantastic article for @quantamagazine.bsky.social about our studies on the evolution of the avian pallium. Love it! shorturl.at/vmTLq
Happy to share the latest story from @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab @embl.org! With @guidobarzaghi.bsky.social, we used Single Molecule Footprinting to quantify how often chromatin is accessible at enhancers after TF and chromatin environment changes! Check our preprint bit.ly/3XQMFxN + thread ⬇️ 1/11

Interested in the evolution of vertebrate organs and cell types?
Then this is a must read review by @margaridamcm.bsky.social
Beautifully explaining the interplay between genome changes, selection forces, development and evolution.
This is an amazing opportunity for those interested in cerebellum biology. @marisepp.bsky.social is an outstanding scientist and deeply invested in the development of her colleagues.
Excited to share the final chapter of my PhD with @kaessmannlab.bsky.social - started with @marisepp.bsky.social in 2018, reimagined after visiting @steinaerts.bsky.social, with amazing contributions by the brilliant @tyamadat.bsky.social. Extremely grateful to the whole team for this collaboration!
The final (and my favorite) chapter of my PhD is now officially published!
Extremely grateful to all our collaborators, especially to @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social for their hard work, and to @steinaerts.bsky.social and @kaessmannlab.bsky.social for their guidance and advice!

We are thrilled that our study on the evolution of gene regulation in mammalian cerebellum development – led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social – is now out in @ScienceMagazine! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Gene regulatory changes are considered major drivers of evolutionary innovations, including the cerebellum’s expansion during human evolution, yet they remain largely unexplored. In this study, we com...
How does gene regulation shape brain evolution? Our new preprint dives into this question in the context of mammalian cerebellum development! rb.gy/dbcxjz

Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.
I've started my own lab 🎉
PhD/postdoc positions available - reach out if curious about cerebellum evo-devo and autism spectrum disorders.
We’re based at Uni Tartu, Institute of Genomics (home to Estonian Biobank), and funded by @simonsfoundation.org @embo.org, and the Estonian Research Council.
