The localisation of the mitotic spindle orientation protein, NuMA, is highly dynamic and sensitive to tissue stretch. Frogs are also great for live imaging 🐸 Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cell and developmental biologists--Join us at the 2025 Cell Contact and Adhesion @GordonConf. We've assembled a strong and diverse program of speakers at the cutting-edge of science in our field 1/n Please RT grc.org/cell-contact-a…

Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)

Our latest #Ichthyosporean #EvoDevo story, led by M. Olivetta @ChandniBhickta @NChiaruttini & in co. with @burnsajohn is finally out @Nature . Link⏩: nature.com/articles/s4158… Preprint⏩: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/5)

Alicante will host the XXVIII edition of the European Drosophila Research Conference @edrc2025 👏 The local organizing committee is made up of @NeuroAlc researchers @sanchezalcaniz, @CarmenaLab, @MDominguez_Lab, @Morante_Lab & @PastorParejaLab More info 👇 in.umh-csic.es/en/alicante-se…

Postdoc positions available in the Röper lab at the University of Cambridge! @PDN_Cambridge Join us and help discover the role that supracellular actomyosin assemblies and cell adhesion play in sculpting organs in Drosophila! jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48942/

Really happy #EDRC2025 is coming back to the Iberian peninsula next year and proud to be part of the scientific committee. Looking forward to attending together with other @AraujolabUB members!

Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's @natclarke8 excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!

Our lab is hosting this round an ARISE Fellow to develop technologies for space- & time- resolved protein perturbations - get in touch!

Welcome to the #EDRC2025 account of the 28th European Drosophila Conference which will take place in Alicante from the 25th to the 28th of September 2025! Stay tuned for the upcoming news!

1/9 Insanely PROUD to share our new collaborative project with @Dey_Gautam & @CentrioleLab. #PlanExM We think (almost certain) #Expansion #Microscopy (#UExM) is a turning point for #Protistology and #Cell Biology. 🔗 [tinyurl.com/PlanExM1]

New Preprint! How can cells polarize in the absence of a stimulus? We suggest a surprising biophysical mechanism, protein caging! We reveal how the complex mechanical interactions at the cell surface lead to symmetry breaking. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?🥚 Our latest work in @NatureCellBio led by @LastChrisThomas and @Tabea_Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging. bit.ly/3Ya8dEL (1/7)

A nossa participação no consórcio @NFRF_iNeuron explicada no excelente 90 segundos de Ciência @90segundosPT

Excited to share our preprint on Plexin A's role in collective #cellmigration and morphogenesis in fly testis, paralleling angiogenesis and tissue repair! doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… Huge thanks to amazing @JenevieveNorton & my mentor @peiferlabunc #cellbio #development

3-year funded post-doctoral position to study oocyte development using a combination of cutting-edge approaches in cell biology and biophysics. If you are interested and want to know more about the project, please send a CV and contact me.

Attention #Drosophila folks ! The flyboard is launching FlyCROSS mentor-mentee matching program to pair early career #Drosophila scientists with experienced mentors. Mentor sign up is open NOW for postdocs and faculty - check your inbox for an invite from @GeneticsGSA
