I received close to 200 applications for positions in my new lab and I absolutely underestimated the time it would take to work through everything while evaluating candidates 🫠... But it's also really fun to read so many promising profiles and personal stories!

🚨Last days to apply!🚨 The Frenster Lab is hiring to study how cell competition is regulated in early embryonic development. We use 3D Gastruloids from multiple species and have exciting crossovers of developmental and cancer biology! Join us at University of Freiburg #cellcompetition #gastruloid

Scientists led by Dr. @joshifrenster.bsky.social at @upf.edu have discovered that cell competition in gastruloids is stage-specific and driven by relative p53 levels during pluripotency exit. 📄 Read more: https://go.nature.com/41YmuXt 🎙️ Listen now: https://bit.ly/425e7JH

We are looking for outstanding scientists to develop ambitious research programs in molecular and cellular biology, with special interest in multidisciplinary projects and computational biology.More info: www.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr #MolecularBiology #CellBiology #ComputationalBiology #TeamLeaders#I2BC

Because #gastruloids allow measurements, they can teach us about quantitative traits. Exploring #CellCompetiion @joshifrenster.bsky.social et al www.nature.com/articles/s41... Biology as a matter of #Genes #Cells and #Numbers but of much that is #NotInTheGenes

🥳 I am happy to share our latest manuscript published in @natcellbio.nature.com We use #Gastruloids to study #CellCompetition during early mammalian development and find not only that this is highly pronounced in our system but also tightly restricted in time. (1/12) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm really grateful for the large turnout of our Gastruloid meeting in Barcelona. Close to 100 researchers from 9 countries. With the gastruloid field expanding, I hope that the community stays this close and that the meeting becomes an annual tradition! #gastruloids #conference

The Barcelona #gastruloid meeting has been a blast. A witness to a field that is maturing and a statement of a promise that lurks in its horizon. Thank you @joshifrenster.bsky.social @dias-andre.bsky.social and Ulla Fiuza for the organization, @EMBO, @ERC and the community for support.

Thrilled to announce that I am looking for a Research Technician/Assistant to join my lab @imbavienna.bsky.social. Please consider applying if you’re enthusiastic about #devbio #stemcells #teamwork and excited to help shaping a new lab! Thankful for any retweet! 🫶 imba.onlyfy.jobs/job/l6u2m980

1/3 Embryogenesis requires fit cells. Here, following work from @miguel-torres-1963.bsky.social & @tristanrodriguez72.bsky.social and led by @joshifrenster.bsky.social we develop a #gastruloid model of #CellCompetition www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... showing it recapitulates much of the embryo 🧵

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Here we explore the role of #Wnt and #Nodal signalling during mammalian gastrulation using #gastruloids. Building on the work of many labs, we propose that antagonistic signalling-dependent #modularity in the PS establishes the early mammalian body plan.

A temporal coordination between Nodal and Wnt signalling governs the emergence of the mammalian body plan

Nodal and Wnt signalling play an important role in the emergence of the mammalian body plan, primarily by orchestrating gastrulation and primitive streak formation. While the literature suggests that ...

We've wondered for a while why #gastruloids are so sensitive to initial cell numbers. Here www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... led by U, Fiuza, we explore this & observe effects of a number of variables on final structure and think what this tells us @ embryogenesis #IInNumbersWeTrust #NotInTheGenes

For the dev bio crowd : there is a call for junior group leader at Institut Pasteur in Paris and one of the axis covered is related to development. Come and join us in this exciting place and become one of our colleague @devstempasteur.bsky.social Please RT !! research.pasteur.fr/fr/call/call...

When late science-nights reward you with those types of views, it makes it all worth it!
