We are THRILLED to announce that our very own Dr. Berna Sozen Yale School of Medicine Assistant Prof. has been awarded a @NIHDirector's New Innovator Award! Congrats to Dr. Sozen + to all recipients! Berna Sozen commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator/A…

As an aspiring OB/GYN advocating for better education in vulvo-vaginal pain disorders, I’m thrilled to see this issue getting media coverage

Repro Grant #1! Berna Sozen & Hugh Taylor. Endometriosis is associated with infertility but we don't know exactly why! And we can't just open the pregnant body and see. This group is building a novel 3D model of early human development to study how endo may deter implantation.

Pleased to share the first pre-print of my postdoc work with Ben Steventon in the Steventon Lab describing how Mannose is crucial for mesoderm specification and subsequent morphogenesis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Pleased to share w/ the #devbio community a story that’s taken hold of my heart since opening the lab with @bernasozen_ three years ago. Embryos! Metabolism! In our pre-print, we show how a wave of glucose uptake is necessary for #gastrulation progression. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’re pleased to share our first publication from the Sozen lab, now out nature! Through our 3D strategy, we capture spontaneous emb. + exembr. lineage bifurcation to study aspects of early human embryo patterning, starting from a single stem cell type. nature.com/articles/s4158…

A must-read for anyone who has been watching this field ignite

We’re so excited to be sharing our research in Chicago! Come visit the Berna Sozen lab posters Society for Developmental Biology ✨🔬 Posters B83, B84, B97, B142! Monique Pedroza ipek gassaloglu Jenna Bergmann Tova Finkelstein

People who say not to meet your heroes clearly aren’t developmental biologists. Amongst other incredible scientists, I got to meet the authors of my favorite textbook Michael Barresi and Scott Gilbert at Society for Developmental Biology conference

I’m working with my peers to build a database of graduate fellowships for *international* bio PhD students in the US as they’re ineligible to apply for the F31/GRFP. I emailed 15+ universities and so far have this resource: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op…. Know any others? Please link!

Phenomenal Yale Department of Genetics retreat this year between diverse faculty talks spanning new frontiers in human brain organoids 🧠 to evolution of blood feeding behaviors of mosquitoes 🦟, career chat tables for trainees, and more! Love discussing all the groundbreaking science here!

On Mondays we unintentionally match 😂 can you tell we spend a lot of time together? Love this group #SozenLab #DevelopmentalBiologists Yale Department of Genetics 🔬

Happy to see our paper is now in print version. Huge shoutout to first authors Monique Pedroza and ipek gassaloglu! Yale Department of Genetics

Our latest out today nature! We revisit a century-old theory and show that metabolic gradients work hand-in-hand with genetic&signalling instructions to shape the embryo. Glucose isn't just an energy source, it acts as a major conductor of the body plan🍬 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Years in the making since our lab opened, huge shoutout to amazing co-first authors Dominica Cao 🍋 and Jenna Bergmann! ++team Liangwen Zhong Tyler Jensen Andy Cox ++valuable collab w/ Anupama Hemalatha valentina greco Yale Department of Genetics ++

Link between metabolic pathways that produce energy for embryo growth & cellular signaling systems that regulate cell specialization and movement during early development nature Berna Sozen Dominica Cao 🍋 Jenna Bergmann nature.com/articles/d4158… nature.com/articles/s4158…

🔥🔥🔥 new paper out from our very own Yale School of Medicine A/Prof Berna Sozen lab Berna Sozen led by Dominica Cao 🍋 + Jenna Bergmann shines a light on the role of metabolism in early embryonic development Beautiful work 😍😍 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Ecstatic to share this work revolutionizing our understanding of metabolism in mammalian development, now out in nature! Grateful for Berna Sozen’s mentorship and proud to be a part of this team's effort as co-first author with Dominica Cao 🍋. Story linked in the thread below!

🍭 Dominica Cao 🍋, Jenna Bergmann (Jenna Bergmann), and a team in Dr. Berna Sozen's lab examined the role of glucose in #gastrulation! Read the nature paper: go.nature.com/4fbgmQc Listen to the discussion in our latest episode: bit.ly/48ghgsq
