We're so excited to continue our collaborative work with Gemma Carvill, PhD and Coalition to Cure CHD2 on the CHD2 episignature. Thx to Emily Bonkowski Christy W. LaFlamme @edith_almanza_ for leading the way on the actual work and to CURE Epilepsy for partnering to fund this. 🧬🧠🧬

What do microhabitat suitabilities above range edges tell us about potential species distribution shifts?! Huge thank you to Amy Angert Katie Goodwin and others for this fun collaboration while a PostDoc at UBCBiodiversity! doi.org/10.1111/ecog.0…

So, so proud of Will Chen. I have all the respect in the world for Will and his devotion to seeing this through to the end! This represents an absolutely enormous amount of experiments and high quality science. Congrats!

Excited to share our human RA-gastruloid model in Nature Cell Biology! Early retinoic acid supplementation, followed by later Matrigel addition, robustly induces human embryonic morphologies and diverse cell lineages, including somitic, renal, cardiac, and neural cell types in

Another opportunity St. Jude Research! Seeking a senior scientist 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬to lead a brain #organoid core to support researchers in Ctr for Peds Neuro Dz Res - collaborative work with multiple PIs to understand & treat #RareDisease 🧠🧬 talent.stjude.org/research/jobs/…

Another phenomenal piece of work from a superstar postdoc and my closest collaborator Troy McDiarmid, & incredible (now PhD student!) Megan Taylor! Megan joined the lab as a freshman undergrad, & it has been nothing short of amazing watching her develop into an amazing scientist.

Exciting times!!!

News & Views article by Jesse and Alex on our RA-gastruloid model! Big thanks to Alexandra Schauer and jesse veenvliet @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social for their insightful summary of our RA-gastruloid paper. The article also provides an overview of current stem-cell-based embryo models (SEMs) fields and future

I have only amazing things to say about Silvia Domcke - her lab will be one of the best out there, both from a scientific and mentorship perspective. I can't wait to visit!
