Save the date 📆📆CIB SEMINAR #100 y #101 Martes 21 Enero y Viernes 24 Enero Campus Huechuraba!! Te esperamos! @mayor_lab @InvestigaUMayor
Thrilled to give this talk in Santiago, Chile, as part of the @EMBO Lecture Series! A wonderful chance to reconnect with old friends and forge new connections. Open to all—hope to see you there! 🌎🎙️ #ScienceCommunity #EMBOLectures

#Science on a mug: a cool personalized gift from @InvestigaUMayor and @CIBumayor for students and instructors of the @EMBO #DevBio Practical Course in Quintay, Chile
Thank you, Marcos Simões-Costa (@harvardstemcell) and Joao Botelho (@ucatolica), for leading the chick module at the @EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile! From grafting beads to Light Sheet microscopy with @zeiss_micro, it was an inspiring journey of discovery!


Big thanks to @zebramayor & @leovaldevo from @CIBumayor for bringing zebrafish onsite for the @EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile! Students bred fish, injected embryos, made chimaeras w/ @CorinneHouart and did amazing imaging w/ @LiSIUM_Chile. A successful #zebrafish module
Towing of lateral line axons in vivo in a transgenic zebrafish embryo. Great imaging at the @EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile, using a @zeiss_micro Light Sheet microscope. Huge thanks to @InvestigaUMayor @CIBumayor @microxchile @leovaldevo @zebramayor & LiSIUM_Chile
Spectacular finale of the Drosophila lab at @EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile! Students shared insights, supported by stunning images they captured—guided by Nipam Patel, @MBLScience Director, and supported by Mathew Parent from @MBLScience. #ScienceEducation



The @EMBO Dev Biol course in Quintay, Chile, dives into zebrafish embryos under the expert guidance of @CorinneHouart (@KingsCollegeLon) & @leovaldevo (@CIBumayor). Students are hands-on with exciting experiments, exploring the wonders of development! #DevBiol #Zebrafish



The @EMBO #DevBio course in Quintay, Chile is in full swing! Students are diving into Drosophila development with the amazing Nipam Patel, Director of @MBLScience, leading the way. Inspiring science in Latin America! #ScienceEducation
