I’m thrilled to share I’ve been selected as a 2025 Schmidt Science Fellow @SchmidtFellows Looking forward to starting my next research adventure, investigating how organs and organisms measure and regulate their sizes 🐟🧠🫁🫀 https://t.co/WVokJPGKup

🦋-torial on the other side

I will be pivoting from my PhD work in molecular and synthetic biology with @briscoejames. Check out my recent preprint with James and @joadelas: Predictable Engineering of Signal-Dependent Cis-Regulatory Elements https://t.co/8a4Y5Qf0ce

To learn a bit more about what I plan to do next: https://t.co/wCtVvAp2MR

It was a lot of fun collaborating with @tobyandrews @_Priya_R on modelling mechanisms of organ-scale stretch. Check out Toby’s 🧵👇

We are recruiting! Fully funded post-doctoral positions are available. Interested in #morphogenesis #imaging #zebrafish? Join us @TheCrick to help us understand how embryos build a functional beating heart during development. Please RT 🙏 https://t.co/iXHDZOUVnI

Our latest: a new optogenetic system for precise spatiotemporal control of gene expression We use it to dissect the dynamics of Shh gradient formation & patterning A thread 🧵 https://t.co/Ki4COIjVcl

Excited to share our latest work @lab_turner 🚨 Pace of development is often adjusted to gestation time ⏱️So how does the extremely short gestation of marsupials affects their embryo development ? 🐨🦘#DevBio

Privileged to have played a small part in this amazing story. Check out Tyler’s 🧵

Beautiful work lead by @joadelas @zhang_isaruihan on the #chronotopic control of cell type diversity. It was a privilege to contribute to this work 👇

Day8 at #kitpqbio. Meet out fearless and multitalented students. Projects are assigned. 4 weeks to go! @KITP_UCSB

Our latest: Deep dynamical modelling of developmental trajectories with temporal transcriptomics - Optimised metabolic labelling for time resolved scRNAseq - Deep learning (VAE) for RNA velocity - Predicting expression dynamics with a neural SDE system https://t.co/51NdK3Kceo

Weird fact: Tissues have average structures that are critical to their function, yet individual cells reside in highly heterogeneous structural microenvironments. What gives? Check our pre-print: https://t.co/5uSCZ14NY9 - with @ZevGartner and Jennifer Hu!

Many thanks to all of the coauthors and collaborators! @tejhakkin @vsrivas4 @cmcginnis92 @jake_cs_ https://t.co/CJgBXKZ1MR

I find so eternally alluring this developmental biology question of ‘who organises the organisers?’. Check out this beautiful and relevant new preprint of work spearheaded by @teresakatharin1, @Hstuart21, Elena Gromberg and others. Congratulations! https://t.co/knGnKzavdM

We’re pleased to share our first publication from the Sozen lab, now out @Nature! Through our 3D strategy, we capture spontaneous emb. + exembr. lineage bifurcation to study aspects of early human embryo patterning, starting from a single stem cell type. https://t.co/X6Vk6YrE2m

Congratulations to @zhang_isaruihan on the successful completion of your doctorate

Online now: Developmental cell fate choice in neural tube progenitors employs two distinct cis-regulatory strategies

In his 1952 classic, Turing showed that ≥2 interacting, continuously diffusing morphogens can spontaneously generate beautiful biological patterns. On a discrete cell lattice, we find that 1 morphogen is enough for stable spatially periodic patterns

Extremely humbled and grateful to be among the 2022 @NIH_CommonFund New Innovator recipients! Huge thanks to each brilliant mind in my lab and support from @YaleGenetics. Watch this space in the next 5 years!
