What does frontier science look like? 🧪 At #HFSPmtg2026, it spans everything from cell migration and photosynthesis to evolution, plant biology or ocean microbiomes. Different questions. Different approaches. One community exchanging ideas across disciplines! 💪 #HFSP #sts

Leaving the 2026 #HFSP awardees meeting in Geneva inspired and with new ideas for #dormancy biology and #killifish research. Thank you @hfspo.bsky.social for bringing together innovative, diverse science—and amazing scientists I might never have met otherwise. Grateful to be part of this community!

Annual killifish continue to surprise us: they make neutrophils before almost every other cell type, even before gastrulation. Neutrophils usually arise from the lateral plate mesoderm (forming in cyan), but in killifish they are already patrolling around the embryo in gold. tinyurl.com/killiphil

What if an embryo made immune cells before it finished building the tissue they usually come from? In our new preprint, we show that annual killifish embryos specify neutrophils before germ layers are fully resolved. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Huge thanks to my PI, @ohnolog.bsky.social ! 🧵

Early immune cell development precedes gastrulation in annual killifish

During embryogenesis, cell types arise in a predictable order because developmental regulators act sequentially. But how evolutionary changes in morphogenesis reshape the signaling environments that a...

Ending the year with fantastic news! Our project "Taming and ancient guest: Autophagy in mitochondrial quality control" got funded by the #FWF. Soooo in 2026 our first PhD student will be joining our small but mighty #team 🎉🌱 #NewPI #autophagy @bokuvienna.bsky.social www.fwf.ac.at/forschungsra...

I am excited to announce that I will be moving to IMB Mainz next year! The Winter call for the IPP PhD program is now open; if you are interested in maternal #mRNA regulation and #translation in early vertebrate development, please apply! Deadline: 16 October. More info: www.imb.de/students-pos...

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining @imbmainz.bsky.social in February 2026 to start my own group! We will explore new mechanisms in eukaryotic gene expression, leveraging ‘evolutionary play’ to uncover how regulation, repurposing, and hijacking shape RNA biology. PhD positions available!

Excited to share our review on protein storage! Oocytes across species face the same challenge: maternal factors must be deposited and stored. Protein storage and proteostasis are exciting topics in germ cell biology, and I think we can learn a lot from other dormant systems! doi.org/10.1146/annu...

Protein Storage in Oocytes: Implications for Oocyte Quality, Embryonic Development, and Female Fertility

Maternal storage is a fundamental feature of female gametes and is essential for maintaining oocyte quality and preserving developmental competence. Embryonic development relies on maternally deposite...

How do oocytes prepare for life before life begins? 🧬 Our new review in Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology @annualreview explores how oocytes store proteins to support development and fertility. (1/5) 🔗 go.shr.lc/4o9hsk8
