My lab @mpi-muenster.bsky.social is looking for a computational biologist with a passion for imaging and spatial biology. A staff scientist position with long-term perspective! Apply and spread the word 🙏 jobs.mpi-muenster.mpg.de/jobposting/0...

🥳 Very grateful for the support of the ERC Starting Grant for my newly established lab! We will study how transposable elements contribute to mammalian embryonic development.
We will have positions available next year. Stay tuned!

🚨 Job Alert: we seek a Lab Manager for @juliabatki.bsky.social's new group (start Mar 2026), which will study cell fate regulation during organ development. Join the Batki's group to drive experiments & lab operations! Apply at: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...

Rui Benedito has joined our MPI in Münster as a director. He develops innovative genetic tools to study how mutations alter single-cell behavior — pushing the frontiers of biomedical research. Welcome, Rui! @ruibenedito.bsky.social

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 🎉

We will explore cell fate regulation during organogenesis, with a focus on how cell elimination underlies the emergence of functional tissues.

⚠️ I am really excited to share the work of Anastasios Balaskas, an excellent PhD candidate in the lab, with the wider world. Tasos made a significant advance: generating a stem cell-based embryo model that contains both posterior and anterior neural tissues of the late-stage gastrulating embryo.

Just wrapped up 2 inspiring days at ISCO – Innovations in Single Cell Omics! A great community came together to share science and fun. A big THANK YOU to all our fantastic speakers and interactive participants

Our 3D study of the tumor microenvironment is finally out!

Play around with the data yourself at lung-3d-browser.mdc-berlin.de (Kudos to @danilexn.bsky.social👏 )

Many thanks to Nikolaus Rajewsky lab at @mdc-bimsb.bsky.social and everyone involved, it takes a village to raise a multimodal paper!
