Come join us! 🔬🐣 The Piacentino Lab at Johns Hopkins @hopkinsmedicine.bsky.social is recruiting a postdoc to study membrane lipids, cell migration, and invasion in neural crest and embryonic models! @socdevbio.bsky.social @ascbiology.bsky.social #devbiol #cellbio #lipids

I’m thrilled to share the first preprint from the Piacentino Lab @hopkinsmedicine.bsky.social! We show that developing inner ear requires a secreted lipid chaperone, APOD, working in a positive feedback loop to amplify FGF/MAPK signaling. 👂 #DevBio Check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Lipid-mediated reinforcement of FGF/MAPK signaling enables robust otic placode specification

The formation of cranial placodes requires groups of ectodermal cells to interpret inductive signals in a robust and organized manner, yet how signaling responses are coordinated across a developing f...

We're #hiring! Our group in the Cell Bio Dept at Hopkins is looking for a Research Technologist to join us and study #neuralcrest #cellmigration during #devbiol! Looking to build up your lab experience? Check it out! @socdevbio.bsky.social @ascbiology.bsky.social jobs.jhu.edu/job/Baltimor...

I'm so excited for #ICDB2025, it's looking like such a great meeting and I'm honored to share our work!

Michael Piacentino @mikepiacentino.bsky.social will be a speaker at #ICDB2025 and we couldn't be happier! Michael's work focuses on epidermal to mesenchimal transition in the highly migratory neural crest cells 🐤🧪

Anyone at #cellbio24 want to learn how an apolipoprotein organizes cell migration and sensory tissue specification in the embryo? Come check out my lab’s poster this morning 11:30am at board B391, or grab me any other time and I’d love to share! #neuralcrest #chicken @ascbiology.bsky.social

Approaching 24 hours at #cellbio24 and already buzzing with new ideas!

Welcome all (new) followers! Besides our work on probes & biosensors I'd like to share what I know about #Rstats and #DataViz. So I composed a book on data visualization with R & ggplot2 (it's work in progress). Target audience = wet lab scientists. Link: joachimgoedhart.github.io/DataViz-prot...

It's #TransAwarenessWeek and I just want to say that I love all my trans friends and tweeps. We should all support them and embrace them, all year long, everywhere

Hey #cellbio and #devbiol postdocs: are you working in #cell, #development, or #cancer #biology? My Department at the JHU SOM is hiring! Learn more about our community and see the job ad here: apply.interfolio.com/130523
