Happy to be the next Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) director. The CRG always stood out to me for its excellence in decoding life’s principles & its collaborative, open and innovative way of doing science. Thrilled to follow L Serrano footsteps & join its amazing community! crg.eu/en/news/monica…

Have a paper that's been reviewed elsewhere? JCS is pleased to consider such manuscripts for 'fast-track' decisions. Send us the manuscript together with the full set of reviews and decision letters, and we’ll use these to make a decision. Find out more: journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/reas…

I’ll be visiting Dagmar Wachten & lab's lab at the Institute of Innate Immunity in Bonn this August for a mini‑sabbatical! I would love to connect with scientists in Bonn and beyond; please reach out if you’d like to chat, collaborate, or host a seminar.

The causes of early-life eczema have been unclear, but evidence indicates that changes to fetal immune cells and sensory neurons during pregnancy play a key part nature 🇫🇷 nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/d4158… Nature News & Views preview by Abhay Rathore

I met Can when I first started at Koç University, back when he was a master’s student. Since then, he has built an impressive career, congratulations on receiving the ERC StG! I am excited to see the outcomes of SigReg project.

Life in academia would have been so much better without “reviewer#2” or PIs spending their entire time bringing others down instead of elevating their own science, or without editors who take months to decide to editorially reject your papers. But maybe then life would have been

Excited to share our new preprint introducing CenSegNet, a deep learning framework for high-throughput, spatially resolved, single-cell centrosome profiling in heterogeneous tissues. Co-led by brilliant PhD students, Jiaoqi Cheng & Keqiang Fan. 1/3 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

From our Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Dr. Elif Nur Fırat Karalar and her team reveal how DYRK kinases regulate the cell’s tiny “antenna” — the primary cilium. Their study has just been published in Communications Biology. Moleküler Biyoloji ve Genetik Bölümü

I am thrilled to be featured in the ‘First Persons’ through the decades article in Journal of Cell Science.. It is honoring for me to appear on the same page as David Stephens, an outstanding scientist, leader, and mentor in the cilia field, who sadly passed away in 2024.
