Grupo de Investigación en Inmunología Evolutiva e Inmunogenética

Laura helped me a lot during my Msc please give love to her paper

I have an ambitious undergrad who wants to learn Python on her own over the break. Suggestions for online tutorials?

An Invertebrate Histocompatibility Complex AbstractWe have developed defined genetic lines of the hydroid Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus and confirmed earlier results showing that allorecognition is

This work by our director Luis Fernando Cadavid established our group's main research focus revealing the allorecognition complexes ALR1 and ALR2 in the colonial cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus and their role in the origin of allorecognition

The immunotranscriptome of the Caribbean reef-building coral Pseudodiploria strigosa - Immunogenetics The viability of coral reefs worldwide has been seriously compromised in the last few decades due in part to the emergence of coral diseases of infectious nature. Despite important efforts to understa...

How about some immune system evolution? Former students Ivan Ocampo and Alejandra Zarate-Potes characterized the immune repertoire of the coral Pseudodiploria strigosa using transcriptomics, focusing on immune recognition, signaling, and effector modules

@sebjimra.bsky.social Isn't Hydractinia amazing?

So what about Hydractinia's immune system?

In 2019, our former student Alejandra Zarate-Potes characterized the potential immune molecules in Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus following an immune challenge, using a transcriptomic approach

Our PhD student Laura Ripe-Jaime, in collaboration with Dr. Catalina Arevalo's group on bacterial communities and communication, published key findings on quorum sensing in black band disease, an emerging threat to reef-building corals

Hello Friends!!! Long time no see

What if we got some fresh science to keep this SN active?

Chromosome-level genome assemblies and genetic maps reveal heterochiasmy and macrosynteny in endangered Atlantic Acropora - BMC Genomics Background Over their evolutionary history, corals have adapted to sea level rise and increasing ocean temperatures, however, it is unclear how quickly they may respond to rapid change. Genome structu...

We are thrilled to announced the publication of chromosome level genome assemblies and genetic maps for the Caribbean corals, Acropora palmata and Acropora cervicornis. bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

The cyanobacterial circadian clock couples to pulsatile processes using pulse amplitude modulation

So what about Hydractinia's immune system?

Grateful to have received a Student Research Award from The Ecological Society of Australia. Have a read of the blog below to see how it contributed to my research on baby corals across Ningaloo Reef🪸👩‍🔬

Blueksky is DELIVERING in the category Friends of Friends Who Want More Baby Corals Eating Turkey 🍗

Meet O. faveolata, the Mountainous Star Coral. Baby age: 3 years. Baby size: Let's call it 1 mm. Video speed: 300x. All that gnashing back and forth: Kind of scary tbh?

📣📣📣
Come join us and set up your team in the I2BC Cell Bio Dept!

You will find great science, diverse topics and models, spacious labs, supportive environment, and fun colleagues. We are a short (train) ride south of Paris.

Please DM me with any questions and help us spread the word 🙏

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

Hello can we be included please

Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe Nature Microbiology - This paper is a call to action. By publishing concurrently across journals like an emergency bulletin, we are not merely making a plea for awareness about climate change....

A Comment article published across several Nature Portfolio journals calls for immediate, tangible steps that harness the power of microbiology and the expertise of researchers and policymakers to safeguard the planet for future generations. 🧪

Scientists discover world’s largest coral—so big it can be seen from space Exclusive photos reveal a sprawling, 300-year-old coral near Solomon Islands, recently discovered by the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas expedition team.

Move over, blue whale. This 300+ year old 34m coral is now the largest animal* known. Hopefully its depth, as described, can keep it going 🦑🧪

*colony of animals

So let me introduce myself

I'm an evolutive immunologist currently working on Hydractinia symbiologicarpus (A cute little cnidarian) in immune response to marine bacteria and I currently live under this two statements

Hope we can connect ✌️😉

Hello Bluesky, we are recruiting PhD students in cancer and metastasis biology! This is a fantastic program that brings together several leading European research institutes. Details here: adaptmet.eu/recruitment/
