Isabel Almudi

joint meeting of the German, Spanish and dutch societies for developmental biology 2026

it’s already … tomorrow?!
Who is heading to #gfe2026 in Potsdam? Looking forward to seeing you all and to discuss your science. #devbio

Kicking off #gfe2026 meeting with a great historical perspective on Potsdam followed by the Keynote Lecture by Thomas Bosh.

Thomas shows us that eukaryotes are holobionts/meta organisms that do-evolved with species-specific microbiota.

Welcome to the GfE Meeting 2026 joint with DSDB and SEBD in Potsdam. Salim Seyfried opens the #gfe2026 conference at Uni Potsdam. Let’s have amazing 4 days of science.

It has been a great start to our Development & Regeneration joint meeting #GfESEBDDSDB2026 with a great keynote and two fantastic sessions on Fertilization and early development! @sebioldev.bsky.social @gfeev.bsky.social

Our society is well represented in this first flash-talk session with talks by Jorge Mañes-García (from @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social) and Isabel Pérez-Ferrer (from @eloisaherrera.bsky.social @neuroalc.bsky.social) #GfESEBDDSDB2026 #gfe2026

What a way to start the second day of #GfESEBDDSDB2026 ! A Keynote lecture by Isabel Fariñas @farinaslab.bsky.social introduced by our president Eloisa Herrera @eloisaherrera.bsky.social

We continue the morning with a session on “Forces define form - mechanobiology” with 2 #SEBD representatives, Jerome Solom from Biofisika Institute (CSIC, EHU) and Cielo Centola from @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social

Back in BCN after an great week in Valencia, 1st meeting of #EvoDevOmics network with @mirimiam.bsky.social @anariesgo.bsky.social @evodevogenomeub.bsky.social @patrialvarezcam.bsky.social @jpascualanaya.bsky.social @phylobrain.bsky.social @fany-real.bsky.social @imaeso.bsky.social & Nuria Flames

Very honoured for this appointment that I take with great responsability and knowing that I learnt from the best, @tonigabaldon.bsky.social and that I have the help of the amazing people of the board

Spanish EvoDevo at its best. Congrats to the team on this cool work 🥂🍾

Turns out that “deep conservation of CREs across hundreds of millions of years is far more widespread than previously recognized”

Huge congrats to all authors!! Amazing work 😍

Deep conservation of cis-regulatory elements and chromatin organization in echinoderms uncover ancestral regulatory features of animal genomes Nature Ecology & Evolution - Analysis of the 3D chromatin architecture and cis-regulatory elements in a sea urchin and a sea star reveals mechanisms of 3D chromatin organization in echinoderms...

Our work on the evolution of the regulatory genome of echinoderms is now out in @natecoevo.nature.com. Led by my former PhD Marta Magri, Danila Voronov & Saoirse Foley. Great collaboration of Arnone, Hinman & Maeso labs, started long time ago with our missed José Luis Gomez-Skarmeta: rdcu.be/eXX8l

Exciting news to start the new year! We’re thrilled to see this work finally out in @natecoevo.nature.com, the result of a major collaboration between my lab and the labs of Veronica Hinman and Nacho Maeso, began many years ago with the dear José Luis Gómez-Skarmeta.

🧬 El Cloeon dipterum és una espècie d’efímera molt comuna i interessant dins de l’ordre Ephemeroptera i de la família Baetidae. És una de les efímeres més conegudes d’Europa i s’utilitza com a espècie model per estudiar el desenvolupament d’aquests insectes aquàtics. 1/2

A toolkit for testing membrane-localising tags across species Transgenic markers and tools have revolutionised how we study cells and developing organisms. Some of the elements needed to construct those tools are universally applicable (e.g. fluorescent proteins...

How can we see the cells that make up a living organism? Membrane-localising tags can drive fluorescent proteins to the cell's outer membrane, making their outlines visible. But the tags don't work well in all organisms. How do you find one for your species of interest? 🧵

Congrats! Beutiful work 😍

Revised evolutionary relationships within Brachycera and the early origin of bicoid in flies Mulhair et al. uncover a functional bicoid in non-cyclorrhaphan flies, pushing the gene's origin back by ∼20 million years. Reassessing the Diptera phylogeny using the largest dataset to date permits ...

Latest work out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social

We find the fly development gene bicoid is much older than previously thought (~20 million yrs older!) 🪰🧬

To pinpoint its origins we tackled the Diptera phylogeny, providing some resolution (many open questions remain).
