Really excited to present the results of a fantastic collaboration with Jesse Veenvliet @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de @poldresden.bsky.social 🤩

We find a unique mechanism for body axis elongation in mammals, different from other vertebrate species

I am happy to present our latest research at the ISSCR 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place in Montréal, Canada on 8-11 July 2026. #ISSCR2026 invt.io/1bxb7uh48oo @isscr.org

Using single-cell perturbation screens to decode the regulatory architecture of splicing factor programs Abstract. Splicing factors shape the isoform pool of most transcribed genes, playing a critical role in cellular physiology. Their dysregulation is a hallm

Wouldn’t it be cool to leverage the throughput of single-cell data to study splicing regulation even when we lack exon resolution? 😀

Here’s the peer-reviewed version of our paper on how we can measure changes in splicing factor activity in virtually any single-cell dataset: doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

In preprints: gastruloids get (a)head A major breakthrough in the field of mammalian embryology is the development of stem-cell based embryo models. Derived from pluripotent stem cells, such as embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent ...

Ever wondered how to get a gastruloid to grow a head?

The Bulut-Karslioğlu lab figured out that by growing different stem cell aggregates in high and low oxygen and later assembling them, you can get gastruloids with a fully formed neural tube. Check out our "In preprints": doi.org/10.1242/dev....

🧬 Els oòcits humans “s’apaguen” per protegir-se

➡️Un estudi del #CRGenomica revela que els òvuls humans redueixen l’activitat dels sistemes de neteja quan maduren.

📣 New preprint! We present SpinePy, a modular framework that enables automated 3D spatiotemporal quantification of #gastruloids & other multicellular in vitro systems. Spearheaded by @cryaaa.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de. Check out his thread 👇 & the paper:

Understanding how embryos build themselves requires studying developmental trajectories. This is beautiful work from @santoslab.bsky.social!

I am deeply honoured to have been recognized by the European Research Council with a #StartingGrant. @erc.europa.eu

With this support, my team and I will launch #MOVIOLA. Our goal is to understand how human neural progenitors decide their fate during brain development.

Thrilled to share that our group will be supported by an ERC Starting Grant! 🚀

With the project 'DECIPHER', we will decode and perturb gene regulation to engineer human cell subtypes, niches, and maturation.

We’ll soon be recruiting at all levels — stay tuned for opportunities to join us!

Great news Can, vivid congratulations!! What an year, super deserved!

Uoooo congratulations Juliane!!! Keep rocking!!🤟🤟🤟
