Check out our new paper nature.com/articles/s41467-0… we use isotope resolved metabolomics to map how bacteria in the #microbiome use nutrients to become resilient to deficient host dies, boost reproduction by synthesizing amino acids, & use metabolic teamwork to alter decision making
How #microbiome affects their host #behavior ?@RibeiroCarlitos & Sílvia Henriques new paper @NatureComms show how #gut🦠#microbes feed each other to overcome dietary deficiencies,change host behavior & improve reproduction. Read the📚digest @ Ar Magazine⤵️bit.ly/3ld3vSy

Fantastic job by @Pat_TFrancisco on presenting her PhD work to the #EDRC2023 crowd. She used #Drosophila #mouse and now #zebrafish to dissect the evolutionary conservation of a new feeding regulating Neuropeptide family.
Badass @Pat_TFrancisco presenting Marmite to the crowd at @EDRC2023 #edrc2023. Great story on feeding regulation and neuromodulator evolution from @RibeiroLab!!

Congratulations! Proud lab!
#PhDone! Congratulations to our new #Doctor, Dennis Goldschmidt, from the #Behaviour and #Metabolism @RibeiroLab @ChampalimaudF! We wish you all the best for your future, @GoldschmidtDe! 👏

One more epic beer hour @Neuro_CF hosted by the lab and the @ritafior lab. Lucky to be able to have it outdoors in our amphitheater.

Finally we are hosting summer and rotation students again. We had a fantastic Indian lunch this week to welcome our visitors and say goodbye to others. Great to have this diversity in the lab and to get to experience fresh and dynamic young minds.

Thanks for discussing our paper @papersofnote !
While it isn't the first whole-brain volumetric Ca2 paper I've read, this one is relevant to my interests in signal integration and feeding control *and* actually follows through with validation assays! From @Dahaniel, @GoldschmidtDe & @RibeiroCarlitos: doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.27.4…

#preprint alert! Check out what @Dahaniel in the lab has been up to. We are so happy to get to share his gorgeous work in which he uses pan-neuronal 2 photon imaging to dissect how the #brain integrates multiple internal states to guide #food #choice! Watch the video!
Excited to share our latest work - we use pan-neuronal 2 photon imaging to dissect how the #brain integrates multiple internal states to guide #food #choice! Fantastic work by @dahaniel who took on this challenging project almost solo! #drosophila biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/21

Cool #ZoomIn with @Dahaniel @RibeiroLab @ChampalimaudF !! Enjoy :)
In episode 3 of Zoom-In on Champalimaud we turn the spotlight on Daniel Münch, a postdoc at the Behaviour & Metabolism lab! Stay zoomed in! @Neuro_CF youtu.be/SpEAcnDXx-c

Really excited to share and discuss our work tomorrow! Looking forward to learning a lot in these 2 days, particularly to see the different approaches allowing us to explore this type of data in the amazing #drosophila 🤓
Excited to participate in this. Being part of this community has been great! This will add to the fantastic resources #drosophila has!

Today we celebrate @WomenScienceDay in the @RibeiroLab ! We are very fortunate to be working with such amazing and inspiring women @ZitaCarvalhoSa1 @SF_Henriques @EzraGili @ritacardosof @CeliaBaltazar2 Ana.Paula.Elias Raquel.Barajas Patricia.Francisco YOU ROCK!!! #WomenInScience

Congratulations to @EzraGili in the lab for being awarded a crazily competitive #MSCA individual fellowship to work on how amino acids coordinate nutritional responses across tissues! Too bad we do not get to celebrate in person! Hopefully soon!

As we have been getting a lot of emails about this lately we would like to clarify that we do not sell flyPAD systems and that we are neither associated with or endorse any company selling flyPAD systems. We have always made all our technology available as open source.
