How metabolism intertwines with embryo development, and unexpectedly reveals glutamine (not glucose!) as the predominant carbon source for histone acetylation! Very happy to share our latest work, now out at: @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social

Following the inspiring EMBO workshop on developmental metabolism #EMBODevMet, we realized there is a need for an ongoing space to share ideas. So, we’re launching Metabolism in Development & Physiology, a monthly virtual seminar series! Follow @devmetphys.bsky.social for updates and more!

In September, I had the opportunity to present at the EMBO workshop on developmental metabolism #EMBODevMet, a truly inspiring event that (re)connected me with my PhD roots, old friends, new faces & exciting ideas in my favourite field, that of metabolism, in the context of development! #EMBLEvents
