Our new NanoDam protocol is out in STAR Protocols : a step-by-step guide to performing your very own NanoDam experiment, adaptable for a variety of model systems. Thank you to Jocelyn Tang @_rob_kr_ Oriol Llorà Batlle and Anna Hakes and Paul! Read it here: star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/2116

The Chronophage has proved inspirational, perhaps most recently in Andrea Brand’s research who identified a temporal transcription factor in Drosophila that they named Chronophage in view of its role in regulating neurogenesis journals.biologists.com/dev/article/14…

Belated congratulations to Rawlins Lab and Kyungtae_Lim! Targeted DamID in lung organoids done by our great postdoc Alex Donovan!

The Brand Lab wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas! ☃️🎄🎅 We've got two Christmas trees this year: one decorated with microcentrifuge tubes and one constructed out of fly cages! Specially decorated by Anna Małkowska Nemira Zilinskaite and Rebecca!

Delighted to see our description-to-mechanism human alveolar development paper assigned to an issue today. Congrats again Kyungtae_Lim Alex Donovan Thank you Andrea Brand Gurdon Institute , and Cell Stem Cell for the Preview!

We’ve got a great lineup for NY Genome Center’s “First Tuesday” Cancer Seminar! Hear from NYU Langone Health's Giland Evrony (Gilad Evrony), PhD, Mark Yamarkovich (Mark Yarmarkovich), PhD & Andrea Brand (Andrea Brand), PhD this Tuesday @ 5PM. For more info & registration: bit.ly/40MVSpx

I just realized that it has now been 30 years of the GAL4-UAS system for Drosophila! Andrea Brand and Perrimon Lab paper came out in June 1993! journals.biologists.com/dev/article/11…

Why do quiescent neural stem cells look so much like neurons? 🤔 We showed that quiescent neural stem cells transiently adopt a neuronal identity to coordinate reactivation across the CNS! See our latest preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
