🚨 Thrilled to announce that I will be joining MPIPZ Cologne as a Group Leader this September! My team will explore mathematical & mechanical models of plant growth 🌱‼️ Interested students are welcome to contact me privately.

Please RT - I want to hire a talented postdoc with experience in microscopy/cytology, to study adaptation to temperature of #meiosis in plants. Interested? Contact me directly (email, not here). Image is of a temperature stressed meiocyte, by Chris Morgan Chris Morgan


🔵We are seeking a new director! The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an independent research institute located on the shores of the sunny beaches of Barcelona. It is part of the public Centres CERCA research system of Catalonia. We have one clear mission: to understand the


Thank you Koseska_Lab for the great retreat together and for hosting us! It was very stimulating, and also refreshing to see that in this diversity of theoretical approaches in very different systems we can find fundamental common ground! We look forward to meeting again soon!

For at least the last 15 years I have wanted to know whether giant cells are randomly spaced in the sepal. We finally have an answer! They start random and become nonrandom as the surrounding cells divide. Geat collaboration Pau Formosa-Jordan Gauthier Weissbart biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you thought you didn't have to pay attention to giant cells because they are only in sepals, think again. Giant cells are found in Arabidopsis leaves too, and their development is controlled by the same genes. Pau Formosa-Jordan Gauthier Weissbart biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Is giant cell patterning random in sepals and leaves? Check out our new work combining quantitative microscopy, computational methods and modeling, a great collaboration with Clark @Weissbart Wang @Roederl and co-authors! MPIPZ Cologne CEPLAS Cornell University biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


I am happy to announce that I'll be starting my research group at Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) this November! If you are enthusiastic about plant development and hormones in shaping form, please apply for the post-doc position advertised here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48137/

Just 2 weeks left to apply for the organization of one of the 18 Concurrent Sessions or 8 Workshops #ICAR2025 in in Ghent 🇧🇪 ! Apply before October 21st 2024 with a short 200-word summary of the proposed session. More info: icar2025.com and with Geraint Parry


We are looking for another exciting Group Leader to join the EMBL Barcelona family. We cover all things multicellular: from organs to organoids, 3D tissues to functional in vitro vasculature, from disease models to mathematical models… embl.org/sites/barcelon…

Congrats to Isabella Burda, Fridtjof Brauns, Frances Clark, and Chun-Biu Li on our paper showing spatial temporal averaging of heterogeneous growth. Robust organ size in Arabidopsis is primarily governed by cell growth rather than cell division patterns journals.biologists.com/dev/article-ab…


We are #hiring ! In @hadrienoliveri project supervised MPIPZ Cologne, the PhD student will explore continuum mechanical models of plant morphogenesis. 🗓️application deadline Jan 5th, 2025 mpipz.mpg.de/imprs/



Exciting news from MPIPZ Cologne ! 🎓 Dr. Gauthier Weissbart has successfully defended his PhD thesis in the lab of Pau Formosa-Jordan. 🥳 A fantastic achievement, Gauthier — congratulations! Wishing you all the best as you take the next steps in your career. 🌟 #PlantScience #PhDone


Congratulations Gauthier Weissbart on your PhD, the first one from our lab! It was great and so enriching to share this journey with you, I learned a lot - and you did a wonderful job!

Interested in doing a PhD on modelling the dynamics of a differentiation wavefront in the Arabidopsis root MPIPZ Cologne ? Just a few weeks left to apply!
