What if you could deliver molecular tools directly into oocytes without microinjection? In our new paper, online today @Dev_journal (doi.org/10.1242/dev.202857), we introduce VitelloTag, a new cargo delivery tool to enable injection-free genome editing. 👇Read on for a short 🧵
Very excited to share the first preprint "Reconstitution of chromatin reorganization during mammalian oocyte development" from our lab🤞 Most of the experiments were done by my first PhD student Jing, who joined our lab at the second year of his PhD 😆 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Absolutely mesmerizing! The meiotic astral microtubules in clam oocytes are a thrilling to image. My exploration of diverse marine species at MBL, Woods Hole, was a thrilling and highly successful adventure for any marine biologist!
This seems on topic:
Göttingen was once the center for mathematics in the world - until their gov had no more need for them.
The profs that went to Princeton and other institutes in the US laid the foundation for the digital world. Massive brain drain.

We're excited to announce this year's Whitman Fellows! The MBL will welcome 29 scientists from 27 universities and research institutes around the world. mbl.edu/news/mbl-awards-whit…
... because my upcoming work will be supported by a @dfg_public Heisenberg fellowship. Many thanks to very critical colleagues & friends (@Nturetz, @max_farnworth, @McGregorLab, @AkisPapantonis, Tim Beißbarth & @Bucher_lab) who helped polishing my pitch.
Join us on December 15th for a seminar with Prof. 𝐙𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐳, entitled "Making eggs and dividing cells in a changing ocean: lessons from sea stars”. LIVE in the SZN Conference room or to the link ZOOM: rb.gy/jws8bg#SZNseminar#SZNEMI#highereducation
If there was ever a prize I wanted, this is it.
Thanks @Nature for selecting me as one of the joint winners of the Nature Award for Mentoring in Science 2023, in the Mid-Career category!
At last, the lab group picture has been updated. I am truly delighted to be a part of this exceptionally amazing group, surrounded by amazing people.

We are excited to share our lab’s @PauliGroup most recent work on a conserved fertilization complex mediating sperm egg interaction in vertebrates! (1/8)

#BOARD23 (6/6) – Whenever possible, we replace animal experiments at our institute with alternatives such as cell cultures or computer simulations. However, these alternative methods are not always sufficient to understand complex biological processes in the organism.⬇ @The_EARA
#BOARD23 (3/6) – Our jellyfish of the species #ClytiaHemisphaerica grow to about 1 cm in size and are naturally found in the Mediterranean Sea and the Northeast Atlantic. ⬇ @The_EARA
When I just started at the @IMPvienna I had a short side discussion with @PauliGroup about one of her ideas and we decided to join forces. Truly collaborative we went on an adventure driven by @FriedaLeesch and @llorenzoorts, published today rdcu.be/c3Ia3@Nature.

It may look like fireworks, but it's actually the stages of mitosis. Happy New Year from all of us at the Marine Biological Laboratory!
