Excited to share our first pre-print from the lab showing that primate-expressed EPIREGULIN promotes basal progenitor proliferation in the developing neocortex #neocortex #evolution @CRTDpress 🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread below 👇 (1/7)

We are looking for a technician for the genome engineering service @mpicbg. Please pass this on to qualified candidates you may know. The team is highly qualified, professional and supportive and Dresden is a wonderful place to live and work. mpi-cbg.de/join-us/open-p…

And they got the cover of @embojournal! Congratulations to the whole team lead by the Huttner lab! It was a pleasure to be part of this project.

The human-exclusive gene that might have made us smarter leads to a larger brain, increased memory flexibility and reduced anxiety in mice. Great work by @_LeiXing_ and colleagues from the Huttner lab @mpicbg and @CZphenogenomics

Great story by Wieland Huttner and his colleagues on neocortex expansion during human evolution, providing a basis for enhanced cognitive abilities – we are happy that we could help … congrats!

Interested in bacteria-host interactions? We have an open postdoc position with @ericmiskalab @GurdonInstitute @Cambridge_Uni. Please RT and get in touch if you are interested! jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/30378/

I am happy, proud & excited to become the #Director of the #CEITEC consortium in #Brno #CzechRepublic (Central European Institute of Technology). Press releases below (#Czech with an interview). More in the thread👇 @CEITEC_Brno ceitec.eu/pavel-tomancak… ceitec.cz/pavel-tomancak…

@PavelTomancak @CNN What? First time?

I just saw Bernie Sanders on @cnn. He is a great speaker, smart, expressive, really convincing. Pity US politics is about labels.

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

well, great news for the lab and our institute @mpicbg again! And best wishes to Cliff @brangwynnelab as well!

Using #CRISPR-Cas9 to replace the mouse seq of a lens repressor element by the heavily-mutated seq of blind mole rat upregulates the lens gene TDRD7 -> loss of repressor fct. But protein levels are buffered. Great work by @juroscito and @mpicbg facilities. doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Happiness neurotransmitter serotonin can act as growth factor for the stem cells in the fetal human brain that determine brain size. Publication @NeuroCellPress by @_LeiXing_ in the lab of Wieland Huttner @mpicbg. @KalebicNereo @vaid_samir & @Medizin_TUD mpi-cbg.de/en/press/press…

“My wish is that this will provide a positive message to the young girls who would like to follow the path of science, and to show them that women in science can also have an impact through the research that they are performing.” - 2020 Chemistry Laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier.

Our lab at @LOEWE_TBG @Senckenberg #Frankfurt is looking for a Postdoc to work on comparative genomics, gene annotation & linking phenotype to genotype. Please RT. tbg.senckenberg.de/wp-content/upl…
