Multiplexed embryo profiling links cellular state to zygotic genome activation in single cells - Nature Communications
The protein landscapes that underlie multicellular self-organization remain challenging to characterize across intact embryos at high spatial resolution. Here, the authors present 3D-4i, a high-throug...

Excited for the first work of my PhD to see the light of day! This was a fantastic collaboration with my co-author @shamipourshayan.bsky.social and many others who contributed! ❤️

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates
Close up with a beautiful nudibranch on a rocky reef. The lower half of the image is a palette of swatches made from the nudi's vibrant colours.

We’re excited to share our latest preprint on Fractal: our approach towards FAIR bioimage analysis at scale with OME-Zarr-native workflows. Fractal defines interoperable tasks on OME-Zarr and provides a platform for TB-scale image analysis. (1 / 10🧵) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We had an amazing OME-NGFF hackathon last week, Wednesday to Friday, following the inspiring OME-NGFF symposium. What a fantastic week! It’s hard to describe how motivating it is to be surrounded by so many talented, curious & friendly people who care deeply about open, FAIR bioimaging data. 1/14 🧵

Very happy to share our latest work extending iterative immunofluorescence to in toto imaging of early zebrafish embryos (3D-4i), integrated with a 3D-dedicated image analysis pipeline! 🐟🔬📊 Huge kudos to Max Hess for this PhD milestone! 💪 @lucaspelkmans.bsky.social shorturl.at/cO0u7 Let's zoom in!

See this? This = implanting mouse embryo. Usually this happens inside its mother and is invisible to us, but we can actually watch implantation ex vivo with the hope of understanding why implantation goes awry in embryos of older women. A 🧵...

We present a simple yet comprehensive model integrating multiple mechanical forces to guide lung development. These principles operate during both development and disease, providing a dynamic framework to understand and predict lung remodeling processes. 👇Thread 🧵(9/9)

Big parts of my PhD work is now out on bioRxiv!! We look at how biophysical parameters shape the fractal lung during development and disease. Go check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The fractal design of the bronchial tree, as described by the Hess-Murray law, facilitates energy-efficient lung ventilation, yet its developmental origins remain unclear. Here, we quantify the rearra...
