Paper alert!🎉🎉 Excited to share my first co-first author paper from my PhD work published today in @CellStemCell together with co-first author @XuanaiP. Thank you very much @vincentpasque for the opportunity and everyone who helped immensely to complete the work.

Many proteins bind RNA, yet we still don’t know what RNAs most bind because methods map one RBP at a time. In @CellCellPress, with the Jovanovic lab, we describe SPIDR – a method for mapping the RNA binding sites of dozens of RBPs in a single experiment. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

⏳Countdown to the Annual Meeting 'The Placenta at Term', 7-8 July! In-person registration closed, but you can still join the entire programme online trophoblast.cam.ac.uk/ctrconferences… Please share in your networks.

We have an open Postdoc position in my team at @Radboud_Uni to understand sex-specific human embryogenesis. In this @ZonMw PSIDER SeXY blastoids project, you will apply -omics on stem-cell derived embryo models. Info/apply (before Jul 6th): lnkd.in/eGRVYaxW, or send me PM.

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

If heterochromatin is really a liquid-like condensate, why is it not spherical? We investigated whether mechanical interactions between a condensate and a fiber network can explain the variety of morphologies seen in phase-separated nuclear compartments. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Transitions in development – an interview with Jan Żylicz We met with @JZylicz (@reNEW_Global) on Teams to learn more about working abroad, finding a good mentor and his career path so far: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

We are looking forward to attending #2025SDB #2025ICDB this week. Look out for our Editors Alex Eve, Benoit Bruneau & Cassandra Extavour and visit the @Co_Biologists booth to talk about publishing, grants, events and to pick up your free notebook, article collections & posters.

Many active histone modifications accumulate upon ZGA in non-mammalian vertebrates, but are they truly required for proper ZGA? In our new paper, we propose a model of their functions during ZGA in teleosts. Please check it out! doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

We are looking for a new PI to join our institute at KU Leuven. Please feel free to spread the word to potential candidates with stem cell and developmental biology background. The call is out for the next 3 months. kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…

Take a look at our last article! We managed to get iPS derived chimeric animals, healthy and with germline transmission 🐇 A wonderful result, thanks to the hard work of all the team. Bonus: lots of beautiful embryos stainings... nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to announce that our work on Expansion In Situ Genome Sequencing (ExIGS) is now published in @ScienceMagazine! ExIGS allows us to sequence DNA and image proteins with super-resolution directly within single cells. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We have an open PhD position in my team at @Radboud_Uni on the fate of aneuploid cells during human embryogenesis. @ZonMw open collaboration w/ Maastricht Uni & MUMC+ @E_Vrij, Stefan Giselbrecht, Edith Coonen. Info/apply (before Jun 1st): lnkd.in/eEnFQUa8, or send me a PM.

🚨🚨#Hiring! 3 year #postdoc position open in my lab @CABD_UPO_CSIC to study the interplay between DNA damage responses and #preimplantation embryo development. Fully funded by EARLYFATE #ERCCoG 🔗Details below @GenomaHubCSIC @SEBiolDev @ERC_Research Please RT!🙏
