We’re not leaving our beloved #Ichthyosporeans ❤️ / they remain core. But this marks our first big step beyond them, using #UExM to explore how #multicellularity evolved across lineages; and using #Microscopy to see in 3D how cells organize, divide & come together. 🧫🌍

🚨Our collaboration with @centriolelab.bsky.social & @gautamdey.bsky.social is out today in @cp-cell.bsky.social
We show that #Expansion #Microscopy is a broad-spectrum modality for Euks, enabling 3D phenotypic maps rooted to phylogeny.

Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war | Gaza | The Guardian share.google/NefplVsVz4ir...

Getting close to the top 3 that no one ever wished for.

Also... not "death rate", "killing rate" is more appropriate...

Happy to have our #UExM students for the next two weeks!
Rachid & Sneha coming directly from NYU #AbuDhabi& Andrea from Innsbruck University
More #Microbial #Eukaryotes! also some Fish tissues!

JOIN US with @gautamdey.bsky.social @fmikus.bsky.social on this @moorefound.bsky.social funded adventure.

We are growing! A new @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social widefield tailored for ExM- supported by @moorefound.bsky.social is settling! Another one is on its way at @gautamdey.bsky.social Lab !

These two will become the powerhorses for high-througput imaging of the ExM Atlas of #Microbial Eukaryote !

So for a couple of days on top of a Snowy #Swiss Mountain with a #Lake View

We will talk #Cell Biology, #Development & #Evolution.
We will also go #Sampling

Registrations are Open for the Rigi Workshop 2026, which I'm happy to co-organise with @michaelraissig.bsky.social

"Endless Forms Most Beautiful"

This is primarily intended for PhDs & Postdocs.
Only 30 spots available! So think fast !

Such a pleasure to be co-organising the #Latsis Symposium this year with Guillermina !

Thanks to all the speakers & sponsors.

And all our teams members who helped make this a reality.

It just felt right.

Just back from the @cnrs.fr #Origins of #Metazoans meeting in beautiful #Roscoff

& I have no picture to share
It was too good, I didn't get my phone out

Good to reconnect with all the community !& THX @arnausebe.bsky.social & Lucas Leclere for the organisation

A big thanks to the @sfbd.bsky.social , @maitrejl.bsky.social & @embo.org YIP for what has been a very sunny & exciting #DevBio + beautiful hikes around #Cassis.

& now everyone in there knows about #Ichthyosporea & #Expansion #Microscopy
Which is a big ➕️

I must admit, that along amazing #developmental #Biology, having the sea in the conference room is quite a treat here in #Cassis.

@fmikus.bsky.social, the #UExM powerhouse & new #DudinLab member is already setting his bench and tools in #Geneva.

Welcome Felix and looking forward to the next 3y (at least!)

Having #fun with the team, testing the new @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social Thunder combo with #Crest Optics Spinning disk on our favorite #Ichthyosporeans (here #Creolimax) and other Expanded #Microbial #Eukaryotes #UExM

With Guillermina Ramirez-SanJuan we are very happy to announce the upcoming Latsis Symposium " Shaping microbial life in a changing environment" over July 8-10 at #EPFL
Registrations are open til May 23rd.

I had fun once ExM some termite guts .... You should ExM all of this beauty 😍😅

Aleks is not much on social media, & the last preprint from his lab slipped under the radar during the winter break.
But if you are into #RNA-Binding protein, #Developmental control, #fission #yeast, & insane meiotic control! Deep dive into this beautiful study!

What started as a visit to learn ExM by @fburki.bsky.social turned into a full blown ExM workshop, many friends & colleagues, > 25 different species, obviously challenges and some good chat around drinks.

Lets see the #UExM efficieny by End of this Week.

New Lab Picture since today!
The lab is growing & will double by the end of this year, so there will be new faces soon🥳🎈.

After a year filled with intense emotions: the worst being the ongoing tragedy back home & the best being my move to UNIGE with incredible discoveries.

I wish you all an amazing 2025.

May this year bring real justice to the world, free from double standards.

& yes i'll take spaghetti too.

This is not only an announcement -
It also invites the community to join our efforts in shaping the future of #Evolutionary #Cell #Biology. Our data will be accessible in real-time and integrated with other major genomic resources.
