New tenants arrived safely! Thanks so much @McGregorLab and Grace Blakeley! It was challenging dissecting venom glands from baby spiders but I’ve learnt a lot! Stay tuned for #spider #venom #evodevo EUVEN COST Action!



Listening to BM vReumont lecture on transcriptomics and genomics during the 3rd day of EUVEN COST Action Introductory Venomics Training School. He took some time to acknowledge and teach students about Rosalind Franklin’s overlooked contributions to solving DNA structure. Bravo! 👏



This is going to be a milestone paper in #conesnails #venom #evodevo. So looking forward to read it!!! #preprint on Research Square: Coordinated adaptations define the ontogenetic shift from worm- to fish-hunting in a venomous cone snail researchsquare.com/article/rs-215…

JOB ALERT DEE UNIL Faculté de biologie et de médecine (inactif) Université de Lausanne! Feel like doing some cool RNA-FISH and single-cell isolation experiments on #venom #evodevo in #spiders?! Check out this lab tech ads and apply! bit.ly/3WMx8Nt

⚠️🚨Attention Paper Alert🚨⚠️Happy to announce that our Spatial Venomics Paper finally went online Journal of Proteome Research, shooting with laser on venom glands🔫🔬


This is a very cool paper by Cassie Modahl and team investigating the regulation of toxin genes in snakes!

The final print of our paper in eLife - the journal is out! tinyurl.com/2glvu4xs Glad that this paper was also selected for the elife digest: tinyurl.com/2hyl4d46 Evolutionary Venomics Lab naeem shaikh


Venomous colleagues and peers: which arthropod has the simplest venom (few but highly expressed toxins)? I’d say bees. Any other candidates? EUVEN COST Action #venom #toxins Andrew A Walker Dr. Tim Lüddecke Eivind Undheim

Curious about how #spiders make up their venomous arsenal? Check out our latest preprint: Venom gland organogenesis in the common house spider biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In collaboration with @McGregorLab A EUVEN COST Action flagship project funded by Swiss National Science Foundation COST. #venom #evodevo

Hot off the press: Venom gland organogenesis in the common house spider nature.com/articles/s4159… Find out how #spiders🕷️ build up their #venom factories and where they may come from! A huge thanks to my collaborator @McGregorLab and EUVEN COST Action Swiss National Science Foundation Université de Lausanne DEE UNIL



Our study on the evolution on venom glands in cone snails is out in its final shape! A huge thank you to MV Modica and the MNHN Paris, and especially Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 Marie Curie fellowship which made it possible! #venom EUVEN COST Action #conesnails doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

A new #openaccess study by Giulia Zancolli and co. finds that some Uloboridae #spiders lack a #venom apparatus but toxins in their digestive fluids ensure prey immobilisation and digestion. bit.ly/4kP8TJZ #Evolution #Defensin
