Why do quiescent neural stem cells look so much like neurons? 🤔 We showed that quiescent neural stem cells transiently adopt a neuronal identity to coordinate reactivation across the CNS! See our latest preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Inspiring aquatic facility visit @MSarsCentre by @lionlchristiaen, with Mike Levine and @andreabrandlab for companions. What a way to end the #NDEVMSS24

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Brand Lab! Festive organoid picture by @lauraygherghina

What is the physiological relevance of adult neural stem cell heterogeneity? See thread 🧵below by @zaynanou 👇

Exciting opportunities in the Brand lab! 🧠🔬 Head to our website to learn more: andreabrandlab.org/hiring

I just realized that it has now been 30 years of the GAL4-UAS system for Drosophila! @andreabrandlab and @PerrimonLab paper came out in June 1993! journals.biologists.com/dev/article/11…

We’ve got a great lineup for @nygenome’s “First Tuesday” Cancer Seminar! Hear from @nyulangone's Giland Evrony (@giladevrony), PhD, Mark Yamarkovich (@yarmo111), PhD & Andrea Brand (@andreabrandlab), PhD this Tuesday @ 5PM. For more info & registration: bit.ly/40MVSpx

Delighted to see our description-to-mechanism human alveolar development paper assigned to an issue today. Congrats again @KyungtaeL @AlexPaDonovan Thank you @andreabrandlab @GurdonInstitute , and @CellStemCell for the Preview!

The Brand Lab wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas! ☃️🎄🎅 We've got two Christmas trees this year: one decorated with microcentrifuge tubes and one constructed out of fly cages! Specially decorated by @MalkowskaAnna @NemiraZilinskai and Rebecca!

Belated congratulations to @LabRawlins and @KyungtaeL! Targeted DamID in lung organoids done by our great postdoc @AlexPaDonovan!

#Day5: Five gold rings 🎵 Ewan St. John Smith @psalmotoxin shares the story of the Chronophage clock. This time-eater lends its name to a temporal transcription factor identified by the @andreabrandlab in @Dev_journal thenode.biologists.com/eating-time-wi… #12daysof… #CommunitySpirit

The Chronophage has proved inspirational, perhaps most recently in @andreabrandlab’s research who identified a temporal transcription factor in Drosophila that they named Chronophage in view of its role in regulating neurogenesis journals.biologists.com/dev/article/14…

Our new NanoDam protocol is out in @STARProtocols : a step-by-step guide to performing your very own NanoDam experiment, adaptable for a variety of model systems. Thank you to @JocelynTang88 @_rob_kr_ @oriol_llb and @AnnaEHakes and Paul! Read it here: star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/2116

👻 Happy Halloween from the Brand Lab! 🎃 Our spooky adult fly brain was imaged by our spook-tacular lab manager Catherine Davidson #Halloween2022

Thanks to the organizers for a wonderful meeting! #drosofrance2022 (postponed from 2020/21)

Big job alert! Probably the biggest job in UK science: CEO of @wellcometrust replacing @JeremyFarrar next year Hopefully they'll find someone to champion discovery science & increase investment in the curiosity driven research that underpins innovation jobs.newscientist.com/en-gb/job/1401…

Wishing @AmzForeman all the best at her new position at EMBL as the Human Ecosystems Programme Manager based at @emblebi Thank you for all your hard work in the Brand Lab! We'll miss you!

Many Brand Lab 🏆 Winners at the @GurdonInstitute Retreat! Congratulations to @AmzForeman for winning the Public Engagement Prize, @LeiaJudge and @oriol_llb as joint winners of the Best Poster Prize (as well as @jon_rustle @LabRawlins )! Great science, people and dancing!

📣 The Brand Lab is moving to @nyugrossman! Join us at NYU where we have new positions available in the group working on brain organoid and Drosophila models. Check out our website below to apply for lab manager, postdoc or research assistant roles. andreabrandlab.org

Great DamID work from our postdoc @oriol_llb - we will be expanding our DamID toolbox for use in more model systems to answer more exciting biological questions soon!
