How did brains/CNS evolve and how do they compare in early diverging bilaterians? The nervous system of Xenacoelomorpha are an important proxy, to understand neurogenesis to behavior! Here an update on recent advances, thanks to Pedro to pushing this forward!!!

Wow- blows my mind… very cool!

never doubt the capacity of molecular reagents!!! ;-)

This year, the Department of Biology unifrBiology will support outstanding young scientists who aim to apply for the SNSF Professorship: unifr.ch/bio/en/departm… Please share😃

Yep!!! One of these weeks…

Happy to share that the Gahan lab will be branching out (or more like returning) to working on Nematostella in the near future. Details will follow but for now if anyone is interested in doing a Postdoc or PhD in 2025 on chromatin in Nematostella drop me a message :)

One day on Bluesky and the feed is busy- you’ll find virtually everything you get on Twitter/X see you on the other side simon-sprecher.bsky.social

Welcome simon-sprecher.bsky.social to our association!🧠 At Uni Fribourg, Simon’s lab uses genomics & AI to uncover dementia's genetic roots, testing insights in innovative models. He is passionate about brain health, science & cooking! #MemberMonday Learn more: lmy.de/hKZZz

We have open PhD positions in the lab to work in the Neuroscience of #Cephalopods and #Drosophila- please RT

Officially starting a joint project with SeuntjensLab and Oleg Simakov lab- studying the link between genomes, gene expression and cell type diversity in #Cephalopod brains! Open positions to apply- Please RT!

I am looking for a new postdoc to join the lab. Interested in pluripotency, germ cells, and in investigating these in a genetically tractable cnidarian? Get in touch! We offer a long-term contract, excellent research environment, and a lovely city #Galway. urifranklab.org

Excited to announce that the preliminary program for the Cephalopod Neuroscience GRC is now online! Applications are now open! Attendance is limited so be sure to register early in case space fills up! grc.org/cephalopod-neu…
