I am deeply honoured to have been recognized by the European Research Council with a #StartingGrant. @erc.europa.eu

With this support, my team and I will launch #MOVIOLA. Our goal is to understand how human neural progenitors decide their fate during brain development.

Thanks @trackingactions.bsky.social for being a generous host and @trackingskills.bsky.social for pouring wine for the fantastic @epfl-brainmind.bsky.social visit. Days like this remind me how lucky we are as scientists. Loved the student lunch, 1:1s, seminar reception, and dinner!
