Hi! I’m Miguel, I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the Warmflash lab at Rice University. I study cell fate decisions and signaling dynamics during gastrulation and brain development in micropatterned hESCs.
Excited to share my interests and discoveries with y’all!

It’s mid 2024 and @MATLAB still refuses to let you put the yellow background in the current section of the editor 😒

A research team from Rice University led by Aryeh Warmflash has made strides in understanding the processes that guide human embryonic development. The group’s findings were published in the scientific journal Cells Systems. bit.ly/3VkW4ge

It is great to finally see this story on how pluripotent cells interpret signals combinatorially in making decisions out @CellSystemsCP Led by the super talented @elecamagu now starting her own group at @CABD_UPO_CSIC

Check out our new preprint out on BioRxiv now! We used zebrafish to identify what MYCN overexpression does during early sympathoadrenal development! We found a transient expansion of neural crest markers, as well as reduced BMP signaling. @uribelabrice biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thrilled to have this out. New preprint from the lab studying how Wnt signaling regulates both germ layer differentiation and anterior-posterior patterning. Great working by grad student (and now postdoc) @maos_stemcell

My first first-author paper is out! Thanks to my mentor and everyone in the @Warmflashlab.
Here, we elucidate how WNT/ NODAL synergistically regulate specification between definitive endoderm and mesoderm. Summary and videos next. Check it out:

We show that CHIR induces posterior fates by exerting high WNT levels and a shorter NODAL expression—a very different signaling dynamic than the ligand.

Our findings show that the synergy between WNT and NODAL determines the cell fate specification rather than the levels of a single-level pathway as it is classically conceived, showing the dynamic nature of development. 🤓😯
