Very excited to share our latest work in @NatureComms where we identify two limb mesenchymal progenitor populations involved in congenital and evolutionary digit variation. Congratulations to all authors involved, it’s been such a good team work. nature.com/articles/s4146…
What is going on in the 🇺🇸 currently is heartbreaking and devastating. The trail of destruction is immense…
My lab’s 5-year NIH R01 grant, awarded to study gene therapy for hearing loss, was abruptly terminated. I want to share how this action has been incredibly harmful and disruptive, not just to my lab, but to the scientific process itself. 1/15

Our first Keynote at #ART2025 Improving housing conditions by Lars Lowenjohann #animalwelfare #animalresearch
Three scientists at different stages of their career. It has been an honour being part of their journey. Beautify paper ❤️
We spoke to first author Jonas Malkmus and co-corresponding authors Rolf Zeller, Emeritus Professor @UniBasel_en and former group leader of the Developmental Genetics group, and Rushi Sheth, Senior Scientist in the lab and project lead, to find out more. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…
Our virtual ART Award Ceremony and Conference is on 2nd of July. You will have the opportunity to meet our new awardees and listen to keynote presentations from Lars Lewejohann and Mirko Bischofberger. Participation is free, registrer here animalresearchtomorrow.org/en/conferences… 📷
Very happy to have caught @RolfZeller5 in flagrante doing an experiment in the lab together under Angela’s watchful supervision. Can’t wait to see the result tomorrow. A flavour of more things to come 😃

Join us in celebrating 25 years of the Practical Course on Developmental Biology! This special event will feature alumni of the course, now PIs from around the world, as speakers. Come to beautiful Quintay to enjoy a unique blend of science, sea, and food – all for free!
Thrilled to announce that our lab is relocating to the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory of the Max Planck Society @maxplanckpress and @MPI_Bio in winter 2025. We’ll have open positions— please help us spread the word and stay tuned for more updates! 🐸 🐁 🥳
This study did massive damage to public trust in science and more dramatically to patients. Unforgivable. RETRACTED: Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin as a treatment of COVID-19: results of an open-label non-randomized clinical trial - ScienceDirect sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be. Get a load of this story. 1/
Yet another initiative that endangers the future of biomedical research in🇨🇭 those who can will delocalise animal research in countries where research animals are less protected than in 🇨🇭 animals will lose out with this initiative
Wir sagen NEIN zu diese Initiative!
