L’art délicat de faire taire les gènes Le développement embryonnaire ne requiert pas uniquement l’activation des gènes, mais également une régulation fine de leur répression.

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

Patterned invagination prevents mechanical instability during gastrulation - Nature In Drosophila, the cephalic furrow counteracts mechanical stress as the developing head and the trunk tissues meet, providing evidence for how mechanical forces influence the evolution of morphog...

We had #four interdisciplinary teams, integrating dev-bio, evolution, tissue mechanics, and biophysical modeling, all going full throttle to understand the #CF. Still, it took more than 7 years to publish two papers back-to-back (10/12)

#jobAlert We are hiring! If you like #imaging ,gene regulation and a dynamic group please apply. We are looking for a research assistant with a master degree and prior experience in academia.

And again, Fantastic meeting! 🔬
Single-molecule studies are advancing biology into new territory—thrilled to be involved. 💡
#EMBLSingleMolecule

It was a great meeting. I hope we can do it again in 2 years. #EMBLsinglemolecule. Single mol omics and imaging is very promising combo to dissect gene regulation.

📸 The photo gallery from the conference is live on the online event platform! Head over to check out the highlights, relive the best moments, and see if you can spot yourself in the crowd 👀✨

Thanks again to everyone who made it such a memorable event! #EMBLSingleMolecule

Honored to receive 1st Place Poster Award 🏆 at the EMBL meeting "Gene Regulation: One Molecule at a Time"!
Thank you to all who visited and engaged in exciting discussions.
Grateful to the organizers for an excellent event! #EMBLSingleMolecule

🗨️💡Great conversations during well-attended lunch time panel discussions at #EMBLSingleMolecule

Panel 1️⃣: Single molecule genomics data analysis

🍪 Taking a breather at 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' — where the science is complex, but the coffee is simple (and much needed!).
From single-molecule insights to lively hallway conversations, it's clear: breakthroughs happen both in the lab and over lattes. ☕🧬
#EMBLSingleMolecule

🧩 The Human Bingo session at 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' in full swing! #EMBLSingleMolecule

🖊️ Scientists are swapping stories, checking boxes, and discovering they have more in common than just a love for transcription factors!

The molecules aren’t the only things interacting today!

Lots of great talks in the first part of the day at #EMBLSingleMolecule 🧬

➡️ 'The 3D gene structure of transcriptionally distinct fly brain cell types involves complex changes in promoter proximity to both cis-regulatory and non-canonical elements'
🎙️ Marcelo Nollmann – CNRS, France

💬❓ We like a good Q&A session – a lot of great questions following every talk at 'Genre regulation: one molecule at a time'! Keep asking yours, both in the auditorium and online 🙌🏼 #EMBLSingleMolecule

@arnaudkr.bsky.social @embl.org

☕ #EMBLSingleMolecule Day 2 highlights 🧬

Mid-morning means one thing: coffee break – and an informal Meet the Speaker session!

Attendees had the chance to chat casually with the presenters and ask follow-up questions. Great vibes, great coffee, and even better discussions!

@laghalab.bsky.social

Kicking off #EMBLSingleMolecule Session 1:
➡️ 'Super-resolution imaging of transcription in living cells'
🎙️ Ibrahim Cisse – Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics, Germany
Chairs: Stirling Churchman & Daniel Larson 🙏🏼

#EMBLSingleMolecule is starting! Exciting 4 days ahead! @EMBLEvents

Welcome to the inaugural edition of 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' 🤩🧬 #EMBLSingleMolecule
Most of the participants are already on site – now time for some science!
