Elite researchers in China say they had ‘no choice’ but to commit misconduct Anonymous interviewees say they engaged in unethical behaviour to protect their jobs — although others say study presents an overly negative view. Smriti Mallapaty writes nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

That is huge ! Congrats ton rabelink for the well-deserved European Research Council (ERC) advanced grant ! More scientific breakthroughs to come 🚀

I’ll be there ! #SpatialOmics24 🧬 Looking forward to hearing about all these cutting-edge spatial omics technologies and computational tools ! Amazing program with many eminent speakers 🤩 DM me if you attend too, so we can connect.

I see that Nature has retracted Catherine Verfaillie's notorious 2002 stem claim claims after investigations by Elisabeth Bik on ForBetterScience. This comes only 18 years after Peter Aldhous and I asked Verfaillie to explain her improper repurposing of data in Figure 1.

Glad to attend the International Vascular Biology Meeting 2024 in Amsterdam as a speaker, from Tuesday to Friday ! I will present a scRNAseq study on kidney organoid vascularisation. Don’t hesitate to pass by my poster (04.100) if you are interested 😉 Will you be there too 🇳🇱?

I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded a Junior Professor Chair at Inserm ! Starting in March, I will be joining I2MC-Toulouse and Université de Toulouse to establish the emerging research team “EndoKARE: Endothelial niche dynamics in Kidney Aging, disease, and REpair”.

Why Many Bioinformaticians Struggle in Industry 🧵 1/ The Hardest Skill in Bioinformatics? It’s not coding. It’s not stats. A hiring manager told me their biggest challenge: finding bioinformaticians who can talk to biologists. Here’s why.👇

Fellowship opportunity in my group 🇫🇷: Motivated junior postdoc or final-year PhD (defense 01/01/2023–01/10/2025) ? Interested in vascular metabolism, kidney pathophysiology, aging & single-cell/spatial omics ? 👉 DM : [email protected] 🔗 i2mc.inserm.fr/en/s-dumas-2/

I am thrilled to share our review elaborating on the remaining challenges in the maturation of kidney organoids and their integration into the host for renal replacement therapy. Congrats to our leading author Cathelijne van den Berg and senior authors M. Little & ton rabelink !
