Proud to share what we hope will be a reference study on human oocyte proteostasis. Young-donor eggs show globally reduced organelle activity vs. somatic cells, with an even steeper drop as they mature. 👇 for @zaffagg3 's detailed explanation embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

📣 Paper alert!! Excited to share the 2nd research paper from my time in the @LabBoke at @CRGenomica, out today in the @embojournal! We asked: "how do human oocytes regulate proteostatic organelles under physiological conditions?" We collaborated with @DexeusMujer and employed #healthy human oocytes freshly donated for heterologous IVF 1/

Can someone start a journal called “Cell Atlases” so that the rest of the journals can go back to publishing interesting things?

It was amazing to participate in #PeopleinRed fundraiser gala, as a guest of the mayor of Barcelona! A lovely reminder that science reaches far beyond the lab -- EB

I’ve been wondering about conference norms. When I can’t attend an invited talk, I offer to send my postdoc who led the relevant work; but this is basically never accepted by organisers. When I organize meetings, I’m more than happy for postdocs to step in.

What am I missing? I don’t use this platform much, but I’m genuinely curious what others think about this - EB

Honored to receive a La Caixa Junior Leader Fellowship @BecariosFLC at @CRGenomica. This recognition will support our research on oocyte dormancy and proteostasis for the next 3 years🥚! Big thanks to previous funders @EMBOFellows & MSCA @EU_Commission and to @LabBoke @the_prbb

It was a tough #poster design session last night! 😆 Next week I'll be at the @EMBO #conference "Structure and function of the cytoskeleton" in #Paris, where I'll present the actin-dependent regulation of our favorite endolysosomal super-organelles in #oocytes. If you're interested in how endolysosomal transport depends on #actin in the acentrosomal mouse oocyte, come visit me at poster 199 in session 4, on Thursday! 100% #cat-approved design! 🤪

Securing two group leader positions at the same institute is no small feat.  From IMP postdocs to group leaders: Laura Lorenzo-Orts and Ulrich Hohmann started their labs at IMB Mainz this year: imp.ac.at/news/article/from-…
