Stathopoulos Lab

My artwork made it to cover of @Dev_Cell! It’s a representation of the findings of our latest study. Can’t imagine a better way to mark my last day as a postdoc!

We had a farewell party for postdocs Susie Newcomb @suztown and @FrankMacabenta this weekend as they move on to new positions! Susie will be an Assistant Director for Faculty Development at the @USC CET, and Frank will be an Assistant Professor at @CSUMB! All the best to both!

If you're a cell, taking the road less traveled can have deadly consequences.🛣️ Happy to announce that postdoc @FrankMacabenta and former undergrad Miriam Sun's new paper on quality control during collective migration has been published in @Dev_Cell! tinyurl.com/mr2md8rd

WE ARE HIRING in sunny Los Angeles! (1) Postdoc position to study how signaling checkpoints act to ensure cells migrating off-track are eliminated by programmed cell death. (2) An entry-level research technician position is available to provide support. stathlab.caltech.edu/contact

On the brink(er) of a breakthrough? Susie @suztown explains her and Leslie’s beautiful work on characterizing the regulation of brinker in the ovary and its roles in regulating tissue homeostasis and Dpp levels! Read the story here: bit.ly/3Ksuwxt #Dros22

Finally, @FrankMacabenta will be presenting his upcoming work on how FGF and BMP work together to set up a quality control mechanism that eliminates wandering cells during muscle founder cell collective migration! Check out poster 214C on April 9 1:30-3:30pm!

Zsuzsa Ákos will be presenting her work on using the NaNuTrap method to investigate interdependent tissue dynamics during gastrulation — check out poster 594B April 8 2-4pm to learn more!

The @stathlab is at #Dros22! We are presenting posters on gene regulation in the ovary, our NanuTrap system, and cell cycle-dependent quality control during collective cell migration! So excited to be in our first in-person meeting in a while 🥳 🪰

Merry Flymas from the Stathopoulos Lab! May you and your loved ones have a safe and joyous holiday! 🎄

Had a great time carving pumpkins with the @voorheeslab! The pumpkins were so cool -- one might even venture to say, gourd-geous! 🎃

FP maturation times got you down? No prob-llama! Our latest study helmed by postdoc Zsuzsa Ákos and published in @Dev_journal describes NaNuTrap, a technique that utilizes llama nanobodies for rapid labeling of nuclei in #Drosophila for live imaging! rb.gy/acrxrq

Best wishes to @t_koromila as she prepares to move to Texas to set up her own lab at @utarlington! We look forward to the exciting new discoveries the Koromila Lab has in store! 👩‍🔬

@jbwallingford @UTAustin @PLOSGenetics Yes!!

@stathlab @UTAustin @PLOSGenetics Next project: get Dave Stein on Twitter!

We've seen the light, and with great spatial and temporal resolution, too! 💡 Happy to announce that our collaboration with David Stein @UTAustin describing a new photo-N-degron for in vivo #optogenetics studies is now online! @PLOSGenetics journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

@___SDB___ @USC Congratulations!!

Congratulations to Scott E. Fraser @USC on receiving the 2021 SDB Edwin G. Conklin Medal. Fraser helped define our understanding of stem cells, cell lineage, and morphogenesis through development of tools that changed how developmental biology is studied. bit.ly/3qAleVQ

We congratulate @francesarnold on being appointed by President-elect Biden to co-chair the President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology. PCAST advises the president on matters involving science, technology, education, and innovation policy. ow.ly/dDT950Da07M

A great @nytimes piece on the hardworking people maintaining the @flystocks at the BDSC in Indiana! Truly well-deserved recognition, and I'm sure other #Drosophila labs out there will join us in expressing our profound gratitude! nytimes.com/2020/12/14/sci…
