My interests in biology have always been very broad, spanning from the smallest chemical and molecular interactions to animal’s biology, behaviour and the big picture of evolution. I find astonishing how evolution led to the biodiversity of our planet and shaped...Nervous system and networks
Hey all! Welcome to my new blog post. Today, I’m gonna channel my inner professor and try to explain in simple words how the sea urchin larva nervous system is structured and what is a gene regulatory network. Us, humans when we want to perform a task, e.g. picking up...Why studying “ugly” species matters?
Hey there. In this second video I talk about the importance of studying what we call “ugly” species for biomedical, biological and conservation research. Enjoy it. The music comes from parts of the song “Start” by Cambo, licensed under an...EvoCell podcast #3 – special mini edition: Tell us something weird about your animal
Welcome back to the EvoCell podcast! In this special mini edition, we go around and ask the fellows (and anyone else who was willing to be recorded) for odd, grim, gory, fun facts about the animals they work with. This podcast should probably be labelled NSFW for...Life aquatic with Parhyale hawaiensis
Better late than never, today I am going to introduce the organism I am working with: Parhyale hawaiensis! These “little shrimps” as my mom called them, are small (less than 2 cm) amphipod crustaceans. Well, we all know what a crustacean is but what does mean...More about the joy of single cell sequencing: Cell dissociation
How to dissociate samples into single cells *whilst not lose all hope of eventually becoming a Doctor of Philosophy* There are a LOT of different protocols to dissociate samples into single cells. However, to boil it down, they all use three main drivers: trituration...Unveiling neural cell-type(s)
[Opinion] Neural cell types, like other many cell types, come in a constellation of different morphologies and connectivity amongst other cell-types. For the past century, neurobiologists (and anatomists alike) have pursued the descriptions of neural cell types at the...FILLED: 12-month Marie Curie fellowship on the regulatory genomics of regeneration
A 12 month fellowship in molecular biology and developmental genetics is available at the Institut de Genomique Fonctionnelle de Lyon (IGFL) in France, under the co-supervision of Michalis Averof and Mathilde Paris. The fellowship is funded by the Marie Curie ITN EvoCELL (https://evocell-itn.eu/).
