Join us on Zoom for exciting talks! 👇

yup - pop round the lab and we can help

2 weeks till the deadline!
Join our department @ucl-cdb.bsky.social as a Research Fellow to start your lab! Reach out if you want more details.

Drosophila, metabolism, germline - what's not to like?

Yet another example of why #Drosophila is such a great organism to work with! And it's all due to painstaking curation by dedicated experts @flybase.bsky.social

Thanks for this! Fantastic resource!

Congrats! One for the lab journal club!

Yay! Looking forward to reading this!

Zoom Metabolism in Development meetings continue with our very own @diegosainzdelamaza.bsky.social and @lempradllab.bsky.social next week!

Flyer for the ‘Metabolism in Development & Physiology’ online seminar series. Session on Thursday 11 December 2025, 16:00 CET, featuring talks by Heather Christofk (UCLA) on ‘Metabolic Transitions in Development’ and Yuanlingzi Tian (University of Glasgow) on ‘Metabolic Crosstalk Supports Intestinal Stem Cell Adaptation During Tissue Regeneration’, with Zoom link and sign-up information

We’re back with the Metabolism in Development & Physiology online seminar series 🎉

Thu 11 Dec 2025, 16:00 CET

Speakers:
Heather Christofk (Professor, UCLA)

Yuanlingzi Tian (PostDoc, University of Glasgow)

Reminder to apply - talk applications accepted continuously, there is no deadline. We will be seeking speakers throughout all of next year, so if you have a story on metabolism in development you're excited to share, here's the perfect place:

Our lab is actively looking for posdocs and there is NOW an Open Call for Postdoc contracts (3 years) here: www.aei.gob.es/en/announcem...

Thanks @scentinel.bsky.social and @imbb-forth.bsky.social for the opportunity - it was an honour to be invited by the PhD students and postdocs and to share the stage with such great junior scientists!
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit, from the great science to the (no less great) views from IMBB!

New PhD opportunity studying oocyte biology. Excited about this new direction in the lab.

🔜Only one week to go 🎉! Looking forward to hosting the inaugural talks of our “Metabolism in Development & Physiology” seminar series. Join us by registering here: forms.gle/Y8QzucogKKrZ...

Thanks for writing this - all of us in development need to hear this!

And if you're at @edrc2025.bsky.social, come check out Alicia Donoghue present this work in the signalling session tomorrow (Friday) 15:00!

Morphogen and juxtacrine signalling dynamically integrate to specify cell fates with single-cell resolution Morphogen gradients guide tissue patterning but do not act in isolation. How they integrate with other signalling modalities, like juxtacrine signalling, and how these integrations influence pattern r...

Interested in morphogens and how they can robustly specifiy different cell types with single-cell resolution?
