NEW Review Article on “Critical phenomena in embryonic organization”
Camilla and Nicoletta review the role of critical phenoma in embryo development. Critical transitions may underlie many biological processes, like gene expression, cell differentiation and tissue mechanics. Yet, this field is only taking off recently in biology. Read more about it in the review!
1st Group Birthday!
We celebrated the first year of the Petridou group with a lovely raclette dinner at our group leader's home.
Welcome Laura!
Laura Rustarazo-Calvo joins the group as predoctoral fellow. She will try to understand how cells perceive and react to their environment in the zebrafish embryo.
Welcome: Nicoletta Petridou
New group leader Nicoletta Petridou explains her fascination with the complexity of early embryo development, and how the interdisciplinary nature of EMBL will aid her research.
The lab is almost ready!
Camilla, Cristina and Lena are ready to start the group with Nicoletta, as soon as deliveries arrive…
