To all post-docs: The Genome Biology dept EMBL has an Independent faculty position. Fantastic place to set up your lab, great package: core funding, fantastic PhD students, cutting edge core facilities & great colleagues embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/job…

1/n Fun journey continues: Our new Cell Stem Cell paper out on how the Inherent & Dormant Plasticity of mouse naive PSCs can be "Exaggerated" to Directly form ~E8.5 Transgene-Free (TF) Mouse SEMs & WITHOUT inducing 8-16-Morula-like "Embryo Founder Cells". cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

Online Now! Transgene-free generation of mouse post-gastrulation whole embryo models solely from naive ESCs and iPSCs dlvr.it/TMMGMW #stemcells

Very happy to share the work of Huanhuan Li et al. While not a natural embryo, you might not have known that if I hadn’t told you.

Now online! A complete model of mouse embryogenesis through organogenesis enabled by chemically induced embryo founder cells dlvr.it/TMNGyq

Open Team Leader position EMBL to head & reshape our Genomics Core facility. Interested in providing & developing state-of-the art omics tech to a wide community? A very vibrant, dynamic place to work with fantastic colleagues. Closing Sept 30th embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j...

I'm excited to share our new preprint on LagTag, a method that recovers both past and present chromatin states from the same mammalian cells. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our work on how chromatin organization is established for the first time in early mouse embryos, in part via interplay with remarkable hypertranscription. Marvelous work by Guang Yu, Kai Xu, Weikun Xia and Ke Zhang! nature.com/articles/s4158…

A new paper in Cell shows that it is possible (simple, really) to convert DNA-editing CRISPR proteins, such as Cas9, into RNA editors. All you have to do is delete a chunk of them. Deleting 55 amino acids from a DNA editor called IscB (the ancestor of Cas9) turned it into a

Last few days to apply for this PI position. We are looking forward to welcoming a new colleague, as we are still celebrating the 600th year of our university. KU Leuven Dept of Development and Regeneration - KU Leuven Stem Cell Institute

Excited to share our new study on an integrated human SCBEM! Congratulations to Seiya and Leijie! While the model isn’t perfect, we hope it serves as a valuable tool to help tackle some of the key unanswered questions in early human development. cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

Thrilled to announce I'm starting as a Principal Investigator at #Aithyra in Vienna! We'll be developing generative models to understand cell biology and design proteins. I'm hiring PhDs, Postdocs, & Visiting Researchers! PhD applications by Sept 10: apply.cemm.at

Spatial-DMT is now published in nature ! For the first time, we can simultaneously map DNA methylation and RNA transcription in tissue context. Great collab with Wanding Zhou lab. Big congrats to Chin Chin , Hongxiang Hongxiang Fu and team! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Today in Science Magazine, we report a new DNA editing technology to seamlessly write massive changes into the right place in the human genome. The reason gene editing hasn't transformed human health is that current gene editing technologies like CRISPR are very limited. The

New preprint from the lab! We discovered transient fluidization in the basal region of human forebrains by tracking microdroplets in cerebral organoids.This “basal fluidization”, absent in gorilla and mouse, may contribute to surface expansion in humans 1/ doi.org/10.1101/2025.1…

A Nobel-winning scientist of great modesty and humour, John Gurdon died on 7 October. Not only did he make a discovery that laid the foundations for the field of stem cell research, he also created one of the best environments for research at the Wellcome / CRUK Gurdon Institute.

Delighted by the launch of the Google AI Hub in the dynamic city of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This multi-faceted investment that includes gigawatt-scale data center infrastructure, aligns with our vision to build a Viksit Bharat. It will be a powerful force in
