We’re looking for a PhD student to join the team - interested in timing + robustness of development and hoping to gain computational and/or experimental chops? Reach out to me or our students to learn about a PhD at a premier research institute in Europe: dorrity-lab.com

My friends, I'm very proud to share a story long in the making about sympathoadrenal cells retaining a #neuralcrest gene signature after forced expression of the human #oncogene Nmyc in zebrafish! Congrats to 1st author Rodrigo Ibarra Garcia Padilla and coauthors! 1/6 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Y'all it happened😭! The culmination of my PhD work is officially published! Thanks to Rosa Uribe, PhD and Rodrigo Moreno Campos for all there hard work and support getting this work out! We identified enrichment of BMPs and a role for BMP5 ENS progenitors in #zebrafish! #DevBio #ENS #BMP

Thrilled to share latest preprint studying the events prior to trunk neural crest delamination using mosaicism, CRISPR barcode and live imaging. Thx support from my postdoc mentor Joseph G. Gleeson and amazing collaboration Xiaoxu Yang Melanie D. White, also @melaniedwhite.bsky.social biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It was an absolute pleasure to join this exciting collaboration re-examining neural crest cell migration with Joseph G. Gleeson Harry Keng Ioi Vong & Xiaoxu Yang. And a great effort by Yanina & Jianxiong Wang 王建雄 to track in vivo NCC migration in the quail embryo Institute for Molecular Bioscience 🇺🇸🇦🇺🧍‍♂️🐁🐥

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate to study the regulation of chromatin remodellers in neural crest and their role in developmental disorders. #neuralcrest #neurocristopathies #singlecell #multiome #CRISPR Siddharth Banka The University of Manchester Medical Research Council findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

Join us for the 2025 Neural Crest and Cranial Placodes GRS in Italy. 2-day seminar to learn about the latest Neural Crest and Placodes research with outstanding junior scientists from all over the world!🌎Submit your abstract by December 29, 2024❗️

Nature research paper: Neural crest lineage in the protovertebrate model Ciona go.nature.com/4hgLS1e

Second (this time BBSRC Yorkshire Bioscience DTP-funded) PhD project available in our lab (jointly with Chris Toseland) examining how biomechanical cues crosstalk with signals to influence cell fate decisions during hESC differentiation. More details here: thenode.biologists.com/jobs/funded-ph…

The December 29 deadline to submit abstracts for the 2025 Neural Crest and Cranial Placodes GRS is fast approaching‼️Apply soon to secure your spot before the quota gets filled. Looking forward to seeing you in Italy ☀️ Any queries, contact us here: grc.org/neural-crest-a…

Check out our latest preprint on heart assembloids (second in a month!) We developed a method to integrate heart organoids with cardiac neural crest (NC) in a developmentally relevant fashion. These organoids are amazing and contain all NC cardiac tissues! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Dear #neuralcrest afficionados Please Apply for the Neural Crest and Cranial Placodes GRC - the current application numbers put it at risk for cancellation going forward. Come to beautiful Tuscany and engage with interesting science! grc.org/neural-crest-a…

Happy to see the result of my PhD! 🎉 Interested in how tumor innervation can be studied in #zebrafish? 🐟 Check out our work: "Melanoma innervation, noradrenaline, and cancer progression in a zebrafish xenograft model." nature.com/articles/s4142…

I’m really excited to share that the second paper of my PhD project is finally out in Nature Communications, 👉doi.org/10.1038/s41467…. We reported a key metabolic role in EMT of Neural Crest cells (NCC) and uncovered a non-canonical function of glutaminase (GLS). Here's what we found:👇
