Insights into early #snake evolution through #brain analysis University of Helsinki Science Advances doi.org/gssrrv phys.org/news/2023-09-i…

Check out our new publication in Science Advances, highlighting the power of combining extant and extinct species, high-definition brain models, and osteological traits in tracing snake and vertebrate evolution Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Researchers from Institute of Biotechnology (BI) University of Helsinki used new methods to study snake evolution. Instead of fossils, they used high-definition 3D models of modern lizard and snake brains and reconstructed the brain shape of early #snakes. Di-Poi Nicolas helsinki.fi/en/news/life-s…

Thanks to Christie Wilcox at Science Magazine ! We're delighted to see our new publication and snake brain model video featured on both the News and Editorial Newsletter #ScienceAdviser from Science Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki More here: science.org/content/articl…

So proud about my former PhD student Lotta Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki that just won the Best PhD Thesis award 2020-2022 from the Finnish Society of Developmental Biology! Excellent job Lotta 🐍🦎🦷!

We're thrilled to announce the selection of 24 exciting symposia for our upcoming Helsinki #EED2024 conference! 🧬🔬🐿️🐀🦜🐊🐠🦑🦟🪱🍀🦠 Happy holidays and see you all in Helsinki! More information here: tinyurl.com/EEDHelsinki Abstract submission details to follow in early 2024!

Our first paper of the year is out in NatureEcoEvo ! we explore the interplay between skull patterning and whole-head integration, employing extensive ontogenies alongside multi-tissue data in lizards and snakes Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki nature.com/articles/s4155…

“Our study provides a framework for future #animal studies aiming to analyze patterns of #skull and other tissue variation from an evolutionary and developmental perspective” says PI Di-Poi Nicolas Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki helsinki.fi/en/news/evolut… #evolution #snakes #lizards

Very excited to share a huge project that's been a long time in the making. Interested in squamate macroevolution? Curious about how snakes fit into the broader ecological context of squamates? Looking for a new squamate phylogeny? Check out our new work: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Snakes evolved in a spectacular surge 150 million years ago, involving radical innovation as predators & transforming terrestrial ecosystems: a macroevolutionary singularity Marc Jones NHM London with Dan Rabosky Pascal Title & al. Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Everything is set up for #EED2024! We are excited to welcome 650 people in Helsinki! 🤩🇫🇮 Satellite meetings are starting on Monday!

New article from our lab on the importance of squamate models for understanding key dental features of vertebrates is already online in Developmental Biology as a pre-proof Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbi…

It was great to participate in the joint annual meeting of the Finnish Society for Developmental and Stem Cell Biology (FSDSCB) and Cell and Tissue Dynamics (CTD), and I am super honored to have been selected as the next President of the FSDSCB.

Congratulations Sofia Hakala Sofia Hakala for the Poster Prize 🥳 and Sanne Sandelin for the great talk at the FSDSCB meeting! #ProudPI

Do you use 3D imaging like CT or MRI for research, teaching, outreach, or art? Check out our new article in iScience journal featuring a detailed workflow for producing 3D cinematic renderings with stunning realism! doi.org/10.1016/j.isci… Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki

If you still haven’t had a chance to read our latest publication, here’s a video summarizing our SmARTR pipeline for creating 3D cinematic renderings of imaging data with stunning realism: youtu.be/2hrkvZmuVxI?si… Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki

Excited to regularly share squamate renderings created Institute of Biotechnology (BI) with our recently published SmARTR photorealistic pipeline—all derived from solely CT scan data! Check out the networks to create your own also here: github.com/MeVisLab/SmART…
