We have been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant to explore sex differences in intestinal physiology. Thanks to ERC for its continued support, and looking forward to the next five years of scientific freedom!

Lab's reaction to the news...

Our next-door neighbour Santiago Vernia and I have a joint postdoc project available for someone with an interest in splicing, metabolism and/or Drosophila.

Find out more and apply here. Closing date Dec 7th.

Our first fly + mouse paper is out in EMBO J. Unexpected roles for the Ret neurotrophic receptor outside neurons, in the intestinal epithelium. Great team effort in the lab and nice collaboration with Kim Jensen's lab. Thanks to Judith Eisen for her F1000Prime recommendation.

Tadashi Uemura and lab stopped by on their way back from EDRC and we had a nice day together discussing ongoing work and future collaborations. Thanks to Kyoto Spirits travel grant for funding.

Alessandro is awarded an EMBO Long-Term Fellowship and Irene is elected to EMBO, both in the same week. Thank you EMBO!
