Our new work is out today! Long time in the oven, this has been a really fun and informative collaboration led by Dhanur Iyer in my lab and Heidar from Nicolas Rivron lab. We show that human embryonic cells have an inherent potential to regulate their developmental timing.

🎉 Absolutely thrilled to announce that I've been awarded the prestigious NIH Director’s New Innovator Award !🚀I’m so excited to join the 2024 cohort of bold, early-stage investigators in the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program. Watch this space !!!💥🌍#NIHHighRisk

Our spotlight "Advancing stem cell technologies for conservation of wildlife biodiversity" now online in Development's special issue on Uncovering Developmental Diversity. It has been an incredible privilege working with this fantastic group of authors! doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…

nature.com/articles/s4158… We’re incredibly excited to present our work investigating the role of metabolism in mammalian development, out now in nature showing two state-specific spatiotemporal waves of glucose activity guiding mouse gastrulation

Important work from the Berna Sozen and Ben Steventon labs on an extra role of glucose utilization in mammalian gastrulation: nature.com/articles/s4158…

A brief history of metabolic gradient theory go.nature.com/3UddB8W #JournalClub by Berna Sozen Yale University

Really enjoyed contributing to this wonderful journal club series for Nature Reviews Genetics - thanks for the invitation @LinkoNRG ! #metabolism #development

Love this tandem talk format!

🍭 Dominica Cao 🍋, Jenna Bergmann (Jenna Bergmann), and a team in Dr. Berna Sozen's lab examined the role of glucose in #gastrulation! Read the nature paper: go.nature.com/4fbgmQc Listen to the discussion in our latest episode: bit.ly/48ghgsq

Thrilled to announce that our lab is relocating to the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory of the Max Planck Society Max Planck Society and @MPI_Bio in winter 2025. We’ll have open positions— please help us spread the word and stay tuned for more updates! 🐸 🐁 🥳

Things I wish more people knew about doing science in the US (thread):

Pluripotent cell states and fates in human embryo models pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40171916/ Thanks to Berna and Patrick for a great effort

a real pleasure to write this piece with Martin Pera and Patrick Tam, where we reflect on recent insights and open questions in early human development: doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…

Had an incredible time at Yale University! Huge thanks for the warm welcome and the chance to share our work at the seminar. Thrilled by the engaging discussions and brilliant minds! Special thanks to Berna Sozen Maurizio Chioccioli and Harry McNamara!
