📢 ISDB Keynote Speaker Announcement for #SEBD2026 We are delighted to welcome Anna Bigas #IMIM #InstitutJosepCarreras a world-leading researcher in #hematopoiesis and #stemcell biology. Her groundbreaking work established key roles for #Notch and #Wnt in embryonic blood stem cell formation

Counting down to #SEBD2026! 🎉 First up in our speaker spotlight series: Opening Keynote Antonio Giraldez (Yale University), a pioneer in #DevelopmentalBiology and #RNA regulation. His groundbreaking work revealed how #microRNAs control the maternal-to-zygotic transition

📹 Entrevistamos a @marta-shahbazi.bsky.social la ganadora del premio José Luis Gomez-Skarmeta 2026 #JLGS2026 para saber más sobre lo que hacen en su laboratorio y lo que le motiva a investigar en Biologia del Desarrollo #BioDes Miralo aquí 👇🏻 youtu.be/3OtddcY8Cko

🎉 Congratulations to Luis Hernández Huertas on receiving the #SEBD Best Doctoral Thesis Award 2025! His PhD research identified novel regulators of the maternal-to-zygotic transition using CRISPR-RfxCas13d and revealed Bckdk as a new regulator of this fundamental developmental process. 👏

🎉 ¡Enhorabuena a Luis Hernández-Huertas por el Premio #SEBD a la Mejor Tesis Doctoral 2025! Su trabajo @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social identificó nuevos reguladores de la transición materno-cigótica mediante CRISPR-RfxCas13d y descubrió Bckdk como un nuevo regulador de este proceso fundamental. 👏

Congratulations to, @marta-shahbazi.bsky.social recipient of the SEBD José Luis Gómez-Skarmeta (JLGS) Prize 2026! 🎉 Her research aims to uncover how early human development is organised. 🏆 Award ceremony at #SEBD2026 in El Rompido, Spain. #DevBio #DevelopmentalBiology Photo courtesy of @mrclmb.ac.uk
