POSTDOCTORAL POSITION is available to study different aspects of the lymphatic vasculature in health and disease. Some of the projects include the characterization of the role of lymphatics in mammalian organogenesis in health and disease. Highly motivated individuals and have a strong background in vascular and molecular tools and are familiar with the use of[…]

How to “Run” embryonic development

Posted by Theodora Koromila on July 24th, 2019

The term “embryonic development” was originally proposed some 2,400 years ago by Aristotle, however, many aspects of how the genome regulates development remain unclear. One major challenge of the modern Genomics Era is to better understand how transcriptional factors, transcriptional activators and repressors, regulate gene expression in order to support spatiotemporal outputs that change over[…]

the Node researcher database survey

Posted by the Node on July 23rd, 2019

This survey is now closed. If you missed it but would still like to share your thoughts, just email thenode@biologists.com The Node is planning to launch a database of developmental and stem cell biologists. The idea is to help people organising conferences, assembling committees and seeking speakers/referees to identify individuals that might not otherwise have[…]
