📣 One week left for early-bird registration. We have teamed up with the @wellcometrust.bsky.social -funded consortium Human Developmental Biology Initiative (HDBI) to co-organise our 2026 Journal Meeting. Register by 8 May for early-bird registration at biologists.com/meetings/dev.... #HumanDev26

📢 #Preprint alert! 📢 In our lab's latest work, Afnan explores early patterning in the human forebrain using some really cool techniques. Make sure to check it out!

Excited to share our new #preprint uncovering how early human forebrain is patterned. Compared to mouse, human dorsoventral and anteroposterior telencephalon patterning is strikingly delayed, which is correlated with SHH and FGF signalling differences. Read it here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Happy to have contributed to this work spearheaded by @stochastalive.bsky.social!

A ‘tour de force’! First description of human early telencephalon patterning & signalling centre dynamics, coupling transcriptomics & 4D gene expression imaging. ➡️ Human forebrain is distinct from mouse as soon at anterior neural plate closes. First @crick.ac.uk paper from @houartlab.bsky.social

The time has come for another round of QBMM - we have a fantastic lineup of speakers in genomics, systems biology, and modeling cell dynamics. Check it out! Co-orgs @elowitzlab.bsky.social @tinekelenstra.bsky.social @trayon.bsky.social @savitski-lab.bsky.social and I look forward to seeing you

At the @bsdb.bsky.social conference, Corinne introduced the Marie Johansson Prize to honour our late, brilliant colleague. The award aims to celebrate outstanding early-career researchers. Huge congrats to @giulia-boezio.bsky.social for the award and a stellar presentation of your postdoc research!

🎉 We are thrilled to announce the very first winner of the BSDB Marie Johansson Prize! This year’s award goes to Giulia Boezio @giulia-boezio.bsky.social, recognised for outstanding contributions to developmental biology and for embodying Marie’s scientific originality and rigour.

Honoured and overwhelmed to receive the 2026 Waddington Medal. Science is a team effort, and I've been fortunate to work alongside exceptional people asking hard questions. Thank you to the BSDB and to everyone who has been part of the journey. bsdb.org/2026/03/24/2...

2026 Waddington Medal Winner - James Briscoe - BSDB - British Society for Developmental Biology

We are very pleased to announce that this year’s Waddington medal winner is James Briscoe. His fundamental discoveries have helped shape our understanding of of how morphogens work, and he has played ...

Amazing work by Afnan @stochastalive.bsky.social and our lab satellite colleagues @crick.ac.uk, comparing human vs mouse forebrain signalling centres & progenitor diversity in nascent embryonic telencephalon. Outcome of exploration soon on bioRxiv. @kingsioppn.bsky.social @devneuro.bsky.social

A look at the developing human embryonic forebrain in 3D! Post-doc @stochastalive.bsky.social shares this week's image showing a dorsal view of the human embryonic forebrain at Carnegie Stage 16 (~6 weeks post conception). Major regions marked by FOXG1, WNT8B, PAX6, and SHH are displayed.
