Pau Formosa-Jordan

Here is a nice summary from @GauthierWeissb1 about our new work on giant cells with the @RoederLab and co-authors @mpipz_cologne @ceplas_1 @Cornell

Interested in doing a PhD on modelling the dynamics of a differentiation wavefront in the Arabidopsis root @mpipz_cologne ? Just a few weeks left to apply!

Exciting news from @mpipz_cologne ! 🎓 Dr. @GauthierWeissb1 has successfully defended his PhD thesis in the lab of @PauFormosa. 🥳 A fantastic achievement, Gauthier — congratulations! Wishing you all the best as you take the next steps in your career. 🌟 #PlantScience #PhDone

Congratulations @GauthierWeissb1 on your PhD, the first one from our lab! It was great and so enriching to share this journey with you, I learned a lot - and you did a wonderful job!

Look forward to this great meeting. Join us if you can!

We are #hiring ! In @hadrienoliveri project supervised @mpipz_cologne, the PhD student will explore continuum mechanical models of plant morphogenesis. 🗓️application deadline Jan 5th, 2025 mpipz.mpg.de/imprs/

Congrats to @BurdaIsabella, @Fridtjof_Brauns, Frances Clark, and Chun-Biu Li on our paper showing spatial temporal averaging of heterogeneous growth. Robust organ size in Arabidopsis is primarily governed by cell growth rather than cell division patterns journals.biologists.com/dev/article-ab…

We are looking for another exciting Group Leader to join the @EMBLBarcelona family. We cover all things multicellular: from organs to organoids, 3D tissues to functional in vitro vasculature, from disease models to mathematical models… #research" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">embl.org/sites/barcelon…

Just 2 weeks left to apply for the organization of one of the 18 Concurrent Sessions or 8 Workshops #ICAR2025 in in Ghent 🇧🇪 ! Apply before October 21st 2024 with a short 200-word summary of the proposed session. More info: icar2025.com and with @wokingplants

Check out our latest methods article detailing the approach for live imaging and analyzing cell growth in deeper, inaccessible layers of Arabidopsis tissues, using sepals as the reference organ @RoederLab frontiersin.org/journals/plant…

I am happy to announce that I'll be starting my research group at @slcuplants this November! If you are enthusiastic about plant development and hormones in shaping form, please apply for the post-doc position advertised here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48137/

Congrats @EnricBertran_ @mCherry81197466 Gabriel Rodríguez-Maroto @pcasanovf George Coupland and co-authors!

Shape and identity coordination of the shoot apical meristem in Arabidopsis during floral transition – how does it happen? Check our new story @NatureComms. Truly grateful for this exciting collaboration at @mpipz_cologne with the Coupland group! @ceplas_1 nature.com/articles/s4146…

For at least the last 15 years I have wanted to know whether giant cells are randomly spaced in the sepal. We finally have an answer! They start random and become nonrandom as the surrounding cells divide. Geat collaboration @PauFormosa @GauthierWeissb1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you thought you didn't have to pay attention to giant cells because they are only in sepals, think again. Giant cells are found in Arabidopsis leaves too, and their development is controlled by the same genes. @PauFormosa @GauthierWeissb1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Is giant cell patterning random in sepals and leaves? Check out our new work combining quantitative microscopy, computational methods and modeling, a great collaboration with Clark @Weissbart Wang @Roederl and co-authors! @mpipz_cologne @ceplas_1 @Cornell biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thank you @KoseskaL for the great retreat together and for hosting us! It was very stimulating, and also refreshing to see that in this diversity of theoretical approaches in very different systems we can find fundamental common ground! We look forward to meeting again soon!

🔵We are seeking a new director! The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an independent research institute located on the shores of the sunny beaches of Barcelona. It is part of the public @iCERCA research system of Catalonia. We have one clear mission: to understand the complexity of life. We do this to advance knowledge for the health and wellbeing of people, as well as to advance economic prosperity. 🔗Job offer: tinyurl.com/DirectorJO 🔗Full Brochure: tinyurl.com/DirectorBR
