Are you passionate about the mathematics of data science, computational geometry and topology and want to apply your skills to a beautiful biological question?

Come do a PhD with us!

You will help us understand of how boundaries are established and maintained in early heart development.

It's done! I am now a PhD for real!

I defended my PhD thesis last week and what an incredible day it was. I am very grateful to all the members of @igflyon.bsky.social who made these last 4 years and 8 months so memorable. I will cherish all these memories 😊

Happy to share STORIES out now on Nature Methods

STORIES learns cell fate landscapes from spatial tramscripromics data profiled at several time points, thus allowing prediction of future cell states.

Led by Geert-Jan Huizing and Jules Samaran

Ever wondered what drives enhancer-promoter specificity? Why would an enhancer activate one gene rather than another neighboring one?

Check our latest preprint, led by @mmasoura.bsky.social, to find out!

Promoter-proximal gatekeepers restrict pleiotropic enhancer inputs to achieve tissue specificity
Developmental enhancers are central regulatory elements that can activate multiple genes, yet how they selectively regulate one gene over its neighbours remains unclear. Using the Drosophila twist E3 ...

🚨 Our paper is out! 🚨
Check how spatial-scERA can predict enhancer activity in a virtual Drosophila embryo.
Very proud of this first step in the research world published in @narjournal.bsky.social
Thanks to @yghavi.bsky.social, @paulvilloutreix.bsky.social and all the scientists who made it real!
Now available in its final form @narjournal.bsky.social !
