Gibson Lab

Cnidarian-Microbe Interactions: A fully-funded postdoctoral position is available in the Gibson Lab at the Stowers Institute to investigate cnidarian-microbe interactions. Experience in coral symbiosis or eukaryotic microbiology preferred. Contact: Matt Gibson: mg2@stowers.org

📅 Save the date: Oct.22–24! Join us at the Institute for an exciting research conference on AI-driven approaches to emergent protein behaviors. #SRCKC25 Now accepting abstracts & registrations: bit.ly/3GgsQtC

I’m really proud of my work with corals 🪸❤️grateful that others can see and appreciate their beauty too🪸🪸🫶🏽.Thank you @SocDevBio to placed my coral image as cover image in Bluesky. @ScienceStowers @DbLatinx4849

Meet @HHorkan, a postdoctoral researcher in the @Gibson_Lab ! She aims to establish the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, as a better #research organism for studying stem cell #biology. Read more: bit.ly/3FvtweC

Let's take a look #UnderTheScope! 👀 🔬 This is an adult Nematostella where stinging cells are labeled with eGFP (green). The @Gibson_Lab studies these to understand #evolution. (@GelatinousSting) #EvoDevo #CellBiology

🌊🪸 A mesmerizing moment in marine #science! Institute researchers, led by Investigator @Gibson_Lab & Postdoc @EmmaRangelH, recently captured the stunning moment of successful #coral spawning— follow along as they share insights into this event & their coral #research. 🧵 (1/3)

This week's beautiful #MicroscopyMonday is a juvenile Nematostella with stinging cells labeled with eGFP (green). (@GelatinousSting @Gibson_Lab)

A huge thank you to all our incredible speakers at #SRCKC24! 🙌 #DevBio #EvoDevo

This #MicroscopyMonday shows Yap1 protein (purple), which moves into cell nuclei (red) in the outer layer of the developing sea anemone Nematostella vectensis to regulate the organism’s growth. Christof Nolte (@Gibson_Lab) #biology

The latest from the @Gibson_Lab, and our first foray into coral development in collaboration with @CoralResilience at @himb_soest: An evolutionarily conserved Hox-Gbx segmentation code in the rice coral Montipora capitata biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@RuohanZhong and I also won best presentation prizes! Thank you #CRC24 @StowersXroads @ScienceStowers!! @Gibson_Lab #StunningStella
