How do cells make decisions in a living roots? Using 4D imaging of transcription factor levels, we show that cell fate is determined early in the cell cycle: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #lightsheet #bistability #microscopy #modeling #plantdev #arabidopsis

The Arabidopsis SHORTROOT network coordinates shoot apical meristem development with auxin dependent lateral organ initiation biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

This is your periodic reminder to join me in my attempt to take over the world!

How do hormone-mediated signaling networks vary in space and time? In our latest out in Science Magazine we use time series scRNA-seq to profile brassinosteroid responses across the cell types and developmental stages of the Arabidopsis root. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/ Negative is also positive! Our new study shows that mismatches in RNA:DNA hybrids can adopt a negative charge and have a substantial effect on fidelity of biochemical processes, such as transcription, translation and CRISPR/Cas9 off-target gene editing! doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Outrageous. With its few members dictating a political stance, Duke Grad Union strayed far from representing the real views of 3,500 Duke University grad students. Stop hijacking student representation. You mandate is to promote student welfare, not to polarize with unrelated agendas.

Our paper is out in Nucleic Acids Res ! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Started my new position as a senior lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine at Hebrew University. We develop computational frameworks to study fundamental principles of tissues in both health and disease contexts.

I had the pleasure of handling perhaps the last paper of Philip Benfey (and team) who used 4D high-res imaging to study the dynamics and role of two transcription factors in coordinating root growth with cell-division-mediated tissue patterning. shorturl.at/buHKV

Paper is out!! We followed the dynamics of two transcription factors in a living root, and showed that these transcription factors lead to formative cell division only when they cross a low threshold early in the stem cell’s cell cycle. nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

E. coli engineered to become stem cells that differentiate! We prevent take-over by mutant stem cells that only self renew - by linking differentiation to an essential function. A new way to engineer stable microbial communities. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I've got a postdoc position open in my lab. Do you work on moss, single cell transcriptomics or plant developmental genomics? Consider applying for this position - more here: recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06360

🌱I'm thrilled to share that I will start my lab at Caltech in the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering this August! We'll investigate the cellular dynamics that drive organ development, focusing on the critical transitions between cell proliferation and differentiation
