I am excited to share that I will join the Friedrich Miescher Institute @fmiscience.bsky.social in Basel as a group leader, starting my lab in March 2026 π
We will explore cell fate regulation during organogenesis, with a focus on how cell elimination underlies the emergence of functional tissues.
Finally out! π₯³ Our paper showing how a transposable element (TE) insertion can cause developmental phenotypes is now published @natgenet.nature.com π§¬π¦ π
Below is a brief description of the major findings. Check the full version of the paper for more details: www.nature.com/articles/s41588-025-02248-5
