Sergiu and I had a nice chat with Barbara about all things neural organoids. Check it out in the podcast link 👇

Check out this fantastic opportunity in the McDole lab here at the LMB. Right at the interface of imaging and development!

On the latest #NBTForum podcast, Barbara Cheifet speaks with Madeline Lancaster and Sergiu Pasca about neural organoids — how they are being used to study both basic biology of the brain and their future impacts on disease research shows.acast.com/forum/episodes…

What an honour it was to visit UHasselt Biomed and receive an honorary doctorate. It’s a vibrant and growing community of biomedical scientists doing exciting work in immunology, cardiometabolic, and neuroscience!

If you didn't yet have enough good reasons to share your bioimage data, Matthew (BioImage Archive), Josh (Josh Moore), Erin (@tuesdaystitches), Assaf (Assaf Zaritsky) and I are here with squirrel drawings to convince you that you should do it: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

This is a fun read, especially with the cool scrolling animations 🤩

Very cool preprint by my colleague Kate McDole and her postdoc Katie Goodwin MRC-LMB Cell Biology using beautiful imaging and quantitative methods to understand the wondrous migrations of primordial germ cells in mouse embryos doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

In case you missed it, check out our recent preprint on developmental timing and how slower means bigger, axons that is! Led by the extraordinary Feline Lindhout biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super cool new work from the McDole lab on the extreme stress primordial germ cells have to endure on their journey to the gonads during embryonic development. It’s wild that a new generation is even possible after all that! doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
