I am very excited to share my postdoc work “Morphodynamics of human early brain organoid development”, where we take a multiscale morphodynamic view of human brain organoid development. In collaboration with @GillesGut @GrayCampLab @TreutleinLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…🧵(1/9)
Very happy to share it’s online! If you read the bioRxiv, updates include tracking cells and tissue flow, Histo4i time course (69 Abs) comparing spatial patterning and a new WLS KO ipsc line establishing mechanosensing via YAP-WNT caudalizes organoids nature.com/articles/s4158…

If you attended @BaCell3D in the last years, this year we have an amazing lineup of speakers and a great program. BUT the live tweeting is happening @bacell3d.bsky.social on Bluesky! Please follow us there 🔊 🚨 📣
Cool work from @Jain_Akanksha_ @TreutleinLab !! Long live the ECM cues.

The story of zero, al-Khwarizmi (algorithm) and al-jabra (algebra). The man who translated Aryabhatta and Brahmagupta and eventually popularized by Fibonacci in Pisa. @DalrympleWill @JLFLitfest




The 3 most imp. ideas that spread peacefully from India to Rome and SE Asia: 1.Buddhism 2. Sanskrit 3. Mathematics and invention of 0. The silk road is a myth but the golden road existed & yet not taught internationally . By historian @DalrympleWill @JLFLitfest ##JLFLONDON2025




Languages belong to regions, not religions! Pearls by @Javedakhtarjadu at the @JLFLitfest ##JLFLONDON2025 @britishlibrary @inBritish

Crisis in the age of chaos, with @ShashiTharoor. Wonderful discussion and opportunity at the @JLFLitfest ##JLFLONDON2025 @britishlibrary @inBritish


Listening to @Hanifkureishi at the #JLF london. Check out his book #Shattered about his reflections on illness, identity, love, and writing after a devastating fall in Rome. @JLFLitfest ##JLFLONDON2025 @britishlibrary @inBritish

We are searching for 2 talented MSc students to join the group! If you are interested in using advanced organoid models to study regulators of intestinal differentiation or nutrient uptake, please apply! go.roche.com/skt2b and go.roche.com/wf7hj @IHB_Research
I am very excited to share my first news&views article doi.org/10.1038/s41567… discussing the exciting paper nature.com/articles/s4156… by @Equipe_lenne lab! Thanks to the editors @naturephysics for giving me this wonderful chance 📣💥🎊
Big news - I'm going to be moving to a new position at The Company of Biologists, working across all our journals. This means my job is up for grabs! If you're an experienced editor with a love of #devbio and its community, this could be the role for you. biologists.com/wp-content/upl…
🔬peeps! I am delighted to finally publish my code for controlling a spatial light modulator (SLM) to perform adaptive optics & to sculpt the vortex beams for STED & MINFLUX microscopy - complete w graphical user interface for easy use! github.com/wiebkejahr/slm… Short user manual🧵
Excited for our new preprint from @mehmetintheory - in collab with Michael Sixt - on optimal principles of self-organized chemotaxis in heterogeneous populations! See below for a thread!

Happy end of the year everyone! Don’t forget to add « attending #BaCell3D » on your new year resolutions 🎉
Now out in Nature! As a collaborative team with people from @TreutleinLab, @fabian_theis and @GrayCampLab, led by me, @le_and_er, @josch_f, we generated the so far largest integrated cell atlas of neural #Organoid with comprehensive characterization nature.com/articles/s4158…
Congratulations to Kerim Anlaş, @nicola_gritti & @LabTrivedi @embl @the_prbb for the work on early autonomous patterning of the anteroposterior axis in gastruloids @Dev_journal. doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…
