Excited to share my PhD work!🎉 By characterizing and comparing the cells at the aboral end of the planula larva in 3 cnidarian species, we identified shared molecular features and propose a model for settlement regulation in cnidarians 🪼🪸. @Clytia_Vlfr tinyurl.com/37z2ma2f

A nice memory from this past EED2024.

In Clytia embryos, a single Wnt ligand source independently orients PCP to guide morphogenesis and regulates axial gene expression. Was this coupling mechanism at the origin of animal axis specification? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Elegant study led by @tsuyoshimomose @biodev_vlfr
Whitney-ites past and present, reunited at #cnidofest2024. So many #cnidarian enthusiasts!
It was great to present today at @cnidofest my PhD project on epithelial remodelling in a sea anemone done with @PRHSteinmetz at @MSarsCentre! Looking forward to more discussions and great talks 🪼#cnidofest2024
#Hydractinia preprint alert! We characterized eight new i-cell marker genes from our scAtlas, investigated their expression in different tissues and biological contexts, ultimately providing a broader view of this cnidarian’s stem cell population: tinyurl.com/3ss8f98h
Over the moon! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey, especially my advisors who have mentored me throughout 🪸
Congratulations Dr Julia @juliar_mateu ! A fitting and enjoyable occasion to mark the end of an excellent PhD, with @chisinig @nkonst4 @thibaut_brunet @UlrichTechnau Richard Copley and Elisabeth Christians @IMEV_mer @biodev_vlfr
Really excited for presenting my PhD work at the legendary #TutzingMeeting2023 and reunite with old friends in this incredible scientific community !
Congratulations, Dr Manon ! What an incredible body of work you accomplished.
Today we celebrate a new doctor! Congrats, Dr. @ManonBoosten!
How to conquer the oceans? 1st lab bioRxiv: jellyfish metabarcoding/environmental data from the Tara Oceans expedition into a phylogenetic framework suggest that evolutionary losses of the benthic phase promoted independent colonizations of the open ocean biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I'm glad to share that the preprint manuscript introducing our freshly released R package "macrosyntR" is out : biorxiv.org/content/10.110… It has a stable version on CRAN that you can try. Hope that you'll enjoy it ! #rstats #bioinformatics
The PhD students and postdocs @biodev_vlfr @IMEV_mer had a great day hosting Dr @Pawel_Burkhardt . Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. It’s been a pleasure hosting you at the lab and exchanging science with you. Come back soon!


Had a fantastic day at the Villefranche-sur-Mer Marine Station today to present our work on #choanoflagellates & #ctenophores. Thankful for the invitation by PhD students & postdocs, especially @juliar_mateu for organizing a wonderful day @IMEV_mer @biodev_vlfr @Clytia_Vlfr
My second article is finally out! Have a look if you're interested in our study on combined impacts of #OceanWarming and #OceanAcidification on larvae and recruits of a #Mediterranean #coral doi.org/10.5194/bg-19-… @jpGattuso @3NuriaTeixido @ComeauSteeve @IMEV_mer @4Oceansmopga
Congratulations to @AnnaFerraioli_ ! Awarded her PhD yesterday for beautiful work on Clytia cell types @EvoCELL_ITN @biodev_vlfr
Click on the hotspots to join the @EvoCELL_ITN scientists in their projects. Spoiler: the jellyfish will lead you to the secret lives of plankton, with glimpses beneath the ocean surface and into @IMEV_mer @biodev_vlfr with @AnnaFerraioli_ and @juliar_mateu !
Today we celebrate a new doctor! Congrats, Dr. @ManonBoosten!
👩🔬 Divulguem el treball d'algunes de les #científiques més destacades d'ahir i avui. ♀️ Ajuda'ns a fer-les virals! ✅ Quantes en coneixes d'aquesta imatge? #11F2022 #WomenInScience
Finally out! - Clytia medusa cell type atlas and WHAMseq. Shoutouts to @AnnaFerraioli_ @Leclere_L Sandra Chevalier with @richcopley and our great @Caltech collaborators Tara Chari, Brady Weissbourd, @JaseGehring, David J. Anderson & @lpachter science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
It is so beautiful to see how dedicated are female #coral colonies of Astroides calycularis to protecting their larvae in their tentacules until maturation. It is reproduction period in the island of Ischia, in CO2 vent and ambient pH sites! @4Oceansmopga @IMEV_mer @ChocTeamLov
First live-talk Episode coming up next Monday 23 Nov 😀Join our @EvoCELL_ITN Fellows while they talk about their exciting research! Well done @SiriKellner @milena_evo for organizing such unique events!👏👏👏 youtube.com/watch?v=IOQzmJ…
