This is two stories in one: a case study/cautionary tale on developing genetic tools in new organisms, and the first hint at a gene regulatory network for choanoflagellate multicellular development (which turn out to involve a Hippo/YAP/ECM loop!) A 🧵

Emergence of cellular nematic order is a conserved feature of gastrulation in animal embryos - Nature Communications The morphogenetic events that occur during gastrulation involve dramatic cell- and tissue-level changes. Here they show that propagation of nematic order, leading to long-range spatial correlation, is...

Morphogenesis alert! A unifying physical principle links gastrulation in frogs, fish and flies! Stoked to be part of this new paper with Xin Li in Dave Thirumalai's lab and Robert Huebner in my group and a co-lab with @peiferlabunc.bsky.social and Margot Williams.

Introducing the Michael Sars Visitors Program The Michael Sars Centre is launching a Visitors Program designed to foster scientific exchange and collaborations across disciplines.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Michael Sars Visitors Program! ✨🧪 To spark new connections, we are opening our doors to visiting researchers who wish to conduct a project in #SunnyBergen. Applications are open, help us spread the word!

What a fantastic morning at #MSS2025 🤩 After an opening by BIO Dept. head @unibergen.bsky.social Ståle Ellingsen, three amazing talks by @lowelab.bsky.social, Georgia Rapti @embl.org and Camila Esguerra @ncmbm.bsky.social on System Evolution 👏

🚀🔬🦠 Releasing 🤖Cellpose-SAM🤖, a cellular segmentation algorithm with superhuman generalization 🦸‍♀️. Try it now on 🤗 huggingface.co/spaces/mouse...

Conserved proteins link sensory input and metamorphosis in a marine chordate Anoctamins play a key role in sensory perception in mammals. A new article by the Chatzigeorgiou group reveals their dual role in perception and larval metamorphosis in the chordate Ciona.

📣 New article out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social 🤩 Zonglai Liang and colleagues from the @mchatzigeorgiou.bsky.social group reveal a dual role for Anoctamins in sensory perception & metamorphosis in #Ciona larvae 🧪 Take a peek behind the scenes ⤵️

A man in a dark jumper stands similing in front of an audience in a seminar room. On a screen behind him, a slide that says 'optics' and 'biology', with a fluorescent microscopy image of a fish embryo, code, and a piece of equipment.

Loïc Royer @loicaroyer.bsky.social presented today the impressive work of his team @czbiohub.bsky.social in optical engineering and developing analysis tools to explore vertebrate development 🐟🧪 Thank you for an inspiring and visually stunning talk! 🤩

We are in for a mindblowing treat today at @msarscentre.bsky.social with @loicaroyer.bsky.social from @czbiohub.bsky.social hosted by @noahbruderer.bsky.social for a seminar on “Building a virtual embryo, a single cell at a time”.

Now read Brave New World, mate it with the Orwellian distopia et voila: a beautiful 2025!

Applying LLMs to biomedical research today can go one of two ways: we either use a closed-source web app, or we get coding ourselves. Many researchers lack training for the latter, so their only choice is the former. We want to change that. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A poster in tones of blue and green. At the bottom, the logos of the Michael Sars Centre, University of Bergen, and EMBL with the mention "partner of" above. In the bottom right corner, the hashtag MSS2025. The following text is on the poster: Michael Sars Symposium 2025 Decoding signals and unveiling architectures, from molecules to organisms June 6, 2025, Media City Bergen Speakers: Georgia Rapti (EMBL Heidelberg) Ryan Hibbs (University of California San Diego) Ida Helene Steen (University of Bergen) Jingwei Xu (ETH Zürich) Ross Waller (University of Cambridge) Christopher Lowe (Stanford University) Yuhong Wang (Michael Sars Centre, University of Bergen) Ioannis Riziotis (The Francis Crick Institute, London/GSK) Paola Laurino (Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology)

We are excited to announce that registration for the Michael Sars Symposium 2025 is now open! 🤩 Join us on June 6th at Media City Bergen for a day of exceptional talks 🧪 #MSS2025

Search is changing, using LLMs to reliably query your own data and public data bases will become the norm. Amongst other tools we use @langchain.bsky.social to drastically reduce hallucinations of LLMs.

I’m delighted to share that I will be starting my lab @univmiami.bsky.social in Spring 2025! We will study cellular and developmental biology in non-bilaterian animals – cnidarians, ctenophores, placozoans, and sponges – to explore early animal evolution.

Find me at #CBIAS2024 in London!

Come to chat about image-to-single-cell morphology and how morphosnaker 🧊🐍🧊 can help.

Also come to play around with our virtual embryo.
