Oliveri Lab

Brittle stars, a class of echinoderms, have long intrigued scientists due to their ecological significance. A ground-breaking new study by colleagues in the Division of Biosciences looks at how they evolve and regenerate. Read more: ucl.ac.uk/biosciences/ne…

Wonderful to have been a small part in this enormous effort! Brittle stars for the win! Congratulations to all involved, on and off twitter. @OliveriLab @Ferdix @martinezserrap1 @EchinoKate @ddylus @BillaDelonge @samdupont @JeroDelr nature.com/articles/s4155…

Permanent Position: Lecturer in Invertebrate Palaeontology. Joint appointment with CLOE & @ES_UCL. Closing date 18th June ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

@fcamus Congratulations 🥂

The new CLOE office & lab space was officially opened today by Dean Stephanie Schorge. This will be home to eight of our groups (@zihengyang, @OliveriLab, @telford, @Ferdix, @hernanaburbano, @ShouGroup, Thompson and Greig). Thank you to everyone who worked on the refurbishment.

Join @GenSocUK Spring Meeting on Gene Regulatory Networks in Oxford. FT: @papalopulu @steinaerts @evrlab @briscoejames @acoel_hofstenia @benoitbruneau @EssJayD @veronica_hinman @McGregorLab @mkuijjer J Fisher, K Cho, @BronnerMarianne and M Levine rb.gy/nblvt7

This meeting offers a unique opportunity to discuss the implications of GRNs across disciplines and biological contexts, ranging from development to disease, stem cells, regeneration and evolution. Abstract deadline: 3 March genetics.org.uk/events/gene-re…

Our speakers are @PhilDavidson, @sometimesferns and @Monty2Daniel

Registration is open for the CLOE CBER AUTUMN SYMPOSIUM. What can & can't we learn about evolvability & resilience in networks across different levels of biological organisation (developmental, plastic, ecological), & in response to environmental change. eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-evolutio…

@BillaDelonge Congratulations 👏🏻

We got married pt 1. We had a blast. 💕

I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste: ♻️13% recycled 🌍19% sent abroad 🔥44% burnt ⛰️24% sent to landfill This is shocking, right?! @Jochurchill_MP @pow_rebecca

📢 New #TwitterTakeover Series 📢 @NHM_Students share a day in the life @NHM_London First out is a familiar face: Hugh Carter studies all things #starfish (or #seastars), with a specific focus on the genetics and biogeography of #colour polymorphisms 🌊⭐️🌈

Postdoc position alert! Looking for a #postdoc to study gene regulatory networks that control innate immune response in echinoderm larvae. Funded as part of a joint project between myself and @OliveriLab. Details below. Please RT!

There is a funded PhD position in my lab at UCL on larval regulatory genomics and the origin of the pentaradial symmetry in echinoderms. Multidisciplinary work and lots of avenues to explore. Until end of April to apply: bit.ly/3L0BVE0 @London_NERC_DTP @LIDo_DTP

Congratulations Dr Ivan Candido Ferreira @ivanferrreira @TSS_Lab @MRC_WIMM @RDMOxford ! I am so proud of you. Thank you very much to Prof Paola Oliveri @OliveriLab @CloeFor and Prof Peter Holland @OxfordBiology for 5 long hours of examination!

A new position for a Lecturer in Invertebrate Palaeontology within GEE and Earth Sciences is now open for applications. Applicant research interests should focus on aspects of the early evolution of animals. Closing date 22 Feb. Full details below. atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/…
