Joaquina Delas

Congratulations! 🍾👏🍻

Come and be our neighbours!

Lab’s 1st preprint!

Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate.

@cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation.

He is on the job market!

So beautiful. I never get tired of looking at the neural tube 😍

Generative biology: new approaches to study developmental design principles | Royal Society Theo Murphy meeting organised by Dr Jake Cornwall-Scoones, Dr Dirk Benzinger, and Professor Sally Lowell.

How does life construct itself from within, and how might we learn to emulate its generative logic? Glad to be soon talking and discussing with @philipcball.bsky.social @bertaverd.bsky.social and other great colleagues at this @royalsociety.org event royalsociety.org/science-even...

🙋‍♀️ I’ll be there. Looking forward!

Thrilled to share that the lab has been awarded a @wellcometrust.bsky.social Discovery Award to keep exploring the evolution of 6-methyladenine #6mA in Eukaryotes. We'll open postdoc (3️⃣) and tech (1️⃣) positions to start in 2026, please share with candidates or reach out if you’d like to join us.

Those are some stunning movies! The thread is fascinating, I can’t wait to read the full thing.

The Agrawal lab is moving! This January we will be setting up shop at #UBC in Vancouver, in the department of #Zoology! We are actively recruiting at all levels, especially masters and PhD students. These position are #funded! Please send anyone interested my way!

Dr. Sophie Acton (@actonlab.bsky.social/UCL)

is a Cancer Research UK Senior Fellow with an interest in lymphoid tissue biology.

At #KSStromal26, she'll be sharing her insights on podoplanin - a molecule that controls DC motility within the lymph node.

Organizing the National Course of Genetics 🧬 by @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma @csic.es alongside @dariloops.bsky.social has been a blast!

A great opportunity for young researchers to learn and interact with leaders in the filed of #genomics during a whole week - the future is bright!

🔚Last day of the #CNG2025 by the @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma @csic.es

We close our scientific program with talks by @joadelas.bsky.social from UCL on developmental patterning, and Jose Manuel Franco @cnb-csic.bsky.social on transcription factors in plants 🌱

Llegamos al último día del curso #CNG2025 con @joadelas.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk, explorando los patrones espaciales y temporales en el desarrollo!

Very excited to be on my way to the National Genetics Course in Madrid @segenetica.bsky.social

It is always very special to go back to Spain for scientific reasons. It would be hard to convince uni student Joaquina of what would come.

Impressive (aka intimidating 😂) line up

Congratulations Ollie! Can’t wait to read it 😍

Best part of the job: visiting other places and discussing fun science. This time thanks to @sonnenlab.bsky.social

Yay! Can’t wait to see all the amazing research

A Question of Science | What's the future of fertility? A new podcast produced for the Crick by BBC Studios Science Unit.

Do you have friends with questions about fertility? Egg freezing? Embryo research? IVF? Stem Cells? If you're UK-based this Friday, the BBC are hosting a Question of Science and tickets are still available. PLUS you can submit a question in advance to ask the panelists 🎤

What an excellent fall program! Don't miss these talks!

Retrospective and multifactorial single-cell profiling reveals sequential chromatin reorganization during X inactivation - Nature Cell Biology Kefalopoulou, Rullens et al. develop Dam&ChIC to assay chromatin state at two different time points in the same cell. The method was used to study the reorganization of LADs during cell division a...

It's all so much fun. I need to sit down and read them all together 😍

Nice! me too please?

Thanks for the live updating! Sad to be missing out but it makes us feel a bit more connected to the meeting from far.

Check out the latest work by @dbenzinger.bsky.social and @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social !

Building gradients in space and time.

I am extremely biased but the Dec 15 issue of Dev Cell is 🔥🔥

Read more about @sermenchero.bsky.social 's work in this PNAS Journal Club. #opossums!

It's more of a merry-go-round with the horses that go up and down. I know you can see it

Look fun, Ferdi! Looking forward to reading and maybe hearing all about it!

Is the dog included? Because that might make all the difference!

Menudo verano, Álvaro! Enhorabuena otra vez 🍾🧪

New from our colleagues across the hall, @yanlanmao.bsky.social and @giuliapaci.bsky.social

How can 3D topology tune patterning? Read below!

Congrats Endika @eharo84.bsky.social and the rest of the team! It looked very fun, I cannot wait to read it!
