This post was originally posted on the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine’s blog Dominic Owens, PhD student in the De Bruijn group at MRC MHU, recounts how puzzling results and a fortuitous lab meeting uncovered unexpected outcomes of CRISPR editing and changed the direction of his research. It’s May 2018 and I’m feeling nervous. I was[…]

We are increasing our investment in paediatric cancer research by launching two new significant funding calls. We would like to encourage proposals to investigate the following concepts amongst others- the basis of tumour initiation and progression novel models that would enhance pre-clinical research. Please see the links below for the complete list. The Cancer[…]

Overview A technician/lab manager position is available in the laboratory led by Ricardo Mallarino, Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University (www.mallarinolab.org). The lab focuses on uncovering the genetic and developmental mechanisms by which form and structure are generated during vertebrate embryogenesis. We combine the study of emerging and traditional model organisms to explore questions relating to patterning and evolution[…]

What are onychophorans and why do we study them? My name is Sandra Treffkorn, and I recently finished my PhD in the department of zoology lead by Georg Mayer at the University of Kassel, Germany. In our research group, we focus on studying the evolution of animal diversity by investigating two very interesting but largely[…]

A short-term post-doc position (1st September until 20th July 2020, with potential extension) is available in Professor Kate Storey’s group to develop ongoing work with our human iPS cell derived neural differentiation assay to investigate cell biological mechanisms that regulate neurogenesis. This will include generating and characterising reporter hiPS cell lines and their use in[…]

Welcome to our monthly trawl for developmental biology (and related) preprints. The preprints were hosted on bioRxiv, PeerJ, and arXiv. Let us know if we missed anything, and use these links to get to the section you want: Developmental biology | Patterning & signalling | Morphogenesis & mechanics | Genes & genomes | Stem cells, regeneration & disease modelling | Plant development Evo-devo &[…]

The Kidney Regenerative Medicine Laboratory at the Rogosin Institute is searching for a talented and highly motivated individual interested in understanding how we can apply our understanding of kidney developmental biology to generating new tissue from stem- and primary cells. The goal of the lab is to generate kidney tissue that faithfully reproduces adult kidney[…]
