Very excited that this story has been published in @Dev_Cell! Fantastic work from all involved, I'm grateful to have been part of such a talented team
Our paper on our newly developed technique NanoDam and temporal patterning in brain is out! Thank you to all the brilliant authors @JocelynTang88 @AnnaEHakes @_rob_kr_ , Takumi, Esteban and Paul for your hard work! Read all about it here: cell.com/developmental-cell/…

We are excited to announce partnerships with @Columbia_Tech and @MountSinai_IP. We believe collaborations like these are key to finding and advancing promising early research for patients who need it most. bit.ly/3Bqv9SU

Very happy to share our collaboration demonstrating how axolotls regenerate damaged spinal cord through synchronous activation of stem cells residing within 800 um of the injury. [1/8, a thread] Press release (IMP): imp.ac.at/news/article/axolo…. Paper: elifesciences.org/articles/5….

Thank you to all for showing interest in NanoDam so far! Had a hiccup with our figures of our pre-print, so see the revised current version here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… NanoDam enabled rapid profiling of binding targets of temporal factors and identification of new players.

Excited to share our newly developed technique NanoDam, combined with single-cell RNA-seq to identify novel temporal factors in neural progenitors. Check out our pre-print here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Watch this space for more information on the NanoDam technology!

Maybe a toasty beam of sunlight is all we need to wipe out the coronavirus? What if we injected disinfectant into our veins? Trump might as well be wearing a tin foil hat, @FrankBruni writes. nyti.ms/3aDrpQy

Very happy to be able to share my latest paper with @andreabrandlab published in @eLife! We show that the orphan nuclear receptor Tailless/TLX drives tumourigenesis by reverting intermediate neural progenitors to neural stem cell fate elifesciences.org/articles/5…

You are hereby awarded a joyous minute away from #GeneralElection19 and from #ImpeachTrump to watch a beluga whale, and a rugby ball. Fabulous
