Beyond excited to share that from March 2026, I’ll be joining the Imaging Facility at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) in Amsterdam as a Microscope Specialist. Looking forward to supporting imaging experiments, growing my microscopy expertise, and contributing to cancer research 🔬✨

Six more years—plus a lot of blood, sweat, and tears—later, we are thrilled to finally share it: a cytological framework of female meiosis in Arabidopsis! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A cytological framework of female meiosis in Arabidopsis
Female and male meiosis often differ in many aspects, such as their duration and the frequency as well as the positioning of crossovers. However, studying female meiosis is often very challenging and ...

Ru-upping this thread from last year since the paper is now out! @chenshuliu.bsky.social identified a Piezo-dependent mechanism that enables C. elegans to sniff out “bad eggs” and target them for destruction. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Chemically induced proximity reveals a Piezo-dependent meiotic checkpoint at the oocyte nuclear envelope
Sexual reproduction relies on robust quality control during meiosis. Assembly of the synaptonemal complex between homologous chromosomes (synapsis) regulates meiotic recombination and is crucial for a...
