A very interesting talk from Eric Wieschaus on self-organized patterns in embryos devoid of maternal genetic cues. #IBDM30 anniversary symposium

Really great and impressive to hear ⁦IBDM⁩ alumni, such as Marie Manceau, ⁦Akankshi Oberoi⁩ , ⁦⁦jGros Lab⁩ Jerome Gros, Olivier Pourquié, Patrick Lemaire, ⁦@LeulierLab⁩. #IBDM30 anniversary symposium

For those who follow these things; Ambros did his PhD with a Nobel winner, and postdoc with another Nobel winner. Ruvkun did his postdoc with a Nobel winner too.

This tool is so cool and powerful, a so well deserved Nobel Prize. It is exciting how much we can play with our c elegans thanks to the technique developped by these two scientist and how many things we can finally understand!

New preprint from the lab! We studied how single cells migrate up, down and about fibronectin gradients. Experiments by Isabela Corina Fortunato, PhD , theory by David Bruckner. Collaboration with Edouard Hannezo and Raimon Sunyer IBEC biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Gredler Lab is now open at MCB_Harvard ! We study cell behaviors in live mammalian embryos to understand how tissues are built. mcb.harvard.edu/department/new…

Our new research out today in Nature Microbiology led by Nicola Segata expanding our knowledge on diet-microbiome-health connections in omnivores, vegetarians & vegans. 👇🏻 doi.org/10.1038/s41564…

Mechanobiology Institute (MBI), National University of Singapore, is seeking outstanding students to join our PhD training programme in mechanobiology. The application deadline for the PhD programme is fast approaching: 13 Jan 2025

… and living stuff

New paper from the lab🎈. Introducing Micro Immune Response On-chip (MIRO), a device that replicates tumors and their microenvironment to better understand responses to immunotherapies (cyan=immune cells, red=cancer, green=CAFs). IBEC

So happy to present my PhD work in the Connecting Intermediate Filaments Seminars!

A prelude to human hibernation: new study shows stimulation of the preoptic area of the hypothalamus is sufficient to induce hibernation-like states in mice, drastically reducing body temperature, metabolism and food intake, AND slowing epigenetic aging by up to 76%.

Join us for this small, intensive workshop in the remote Alpine town of Arolla, where we will explore the dynamics of living systems across scales, from the cytoskeleton to embryos. Let’s dive into how cellular and tissue-scale dynamics shape life itself! meetings.ls2.ch/arolla2025

We may not have really squared the circle — but came close! 😉 In our Nature Physics paper with Nikta Fakhri light-triggered membrane excitability enables programmable shapes — a step toward engineering living matter. nature.com/articles/s4156… #biophysics #syntheticcell #softmatter

Happy to be on board as an editor for ACS Applied Optical Materials. Curious to see where the light–matter journey takes us next in the world of materials science. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Today, I had the great pleasure of attending the seminar of Prof. Anne L'Huillier, Nobel Prize of Physics 2023, on the exciting physics of attoseconds! #luminy #aixmarseilleuniversite #departmentofphysics

Had a lot of fun discussing my favorite topic, #EpithelialMechanics! Big thanks to Pint of Science US for the opportunity and to NYC for the great turnout! #pint25

We did it! 😀🎉 🍾🥂 Our Excellence Cluster Physics of Life (Physics of Life Dresden) got renewed until 2032! I am so proud of our team and all the great work we did to achieve this. At a personal level, I am really happy that the enormous effort that went into this process was successful,
