  1. The next step in a great scientific adventure led by Marina Brasó Vives on amphioxus evolution: population genomics of a species with 3% heterozygosity! Read the thread and the preprint 😁 #amphioxus #EvoDevo #PopulationGenomics #MolecularEvolution

  2. Characterization of #Gasdermin E-mediated #pyroptosis in the basal chordate #amphioxus reveals that #GSDME is transcriptionally regulated by IRF1/8, involved in bacteria-induced tissue damage, and inhibited by #caspase inhibitor #PLOSBiology plos.io/3p6klcm

  5. Above, my #introduction of interests. Here, who I am, what I do: a neuroscientist at the #MRCLMB and University of Cambridge, UK, studying the neural circuit basis of behavior, originally in #Drosophila but now also in #cephalopods (#pygmysquid #Idiosepius), the lancelet #Amphioxus and other animals. Our main approach: whole brain #connectomics with #vEM (volume electron microscopy) as the basis for computational modeling to guide neuronal activity perturbation and monitoring experiments with #optogenetics and #electrophysiology (#ephys for short).
    Once upon a time I founded the #ImageJ -based #TrakEM2 software for image registration and neuronal arbor reconstruction and annotation, which spurred founding the #FijiSc (fiji.sc) image processing software, and later the #CATMAID web-based software for #connectomics.
    Always open to inquires from prospective students and postdocs, and collaborations.
