Critical points and transitions in embryo development
Camilla and Nicoletta review the role of critical phenoma in embryo development. Critical transitions may underlie many biological processes, like gene expression, cell differentiation and tissue mechanics. Yet, this field is only taking off recently in biology. Read more about it in the review!
We celebrated the first year of the Petridou group with a lovely raclette dinner at our group leader's home.
Laura Rustarazo-Calvo joins the group as predoctoral fellow. She will try to understand how cells perceive and react to their environment in the zebrafish embryo.
New group leader Nicoletta Petridou explains her fascination with the complexity of early embryo development, and how the interdisciplinary nature of EMBL will aid her research.
Camilla, Cristina and Lena are ready to start the group with Nicoletta, as soon as deliveries arrive…
