Interested in how pesticides impact the onset and progression of Parkinson’s disease? Do you have C. elegans experience? Then this postdoc is for you! workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/post…
Much excitement in the lab today - We got worms to grow and reproduce in axenic media! I find it amazing the worms could grow without a bacterial food source!
A beautiful article from the New York Times highlighting how much of an impact C. elegans has had. As Sydney Brenner said: “Without doubt, the fourth winner of the Nobel Prize this year is Caenorhabditis elegans” nytimes.com/2024/10/17/sci…
I am part of a team organising a research topic in Frontiers in Toxicology : The need to add whole organism models to reduce uncertainties in developmental neurotoxicity testing strategies. We hope to see your submissions 🤓 frontiersin.org/research-topic…
MERLON brings together experts from 1⃣1⃣ partner institutions across 7⃣ European countries. ⚕️By shedding a light on the possible health impacts of endocrine disrupters, the project will protect human reproductive health. Get to know the partners: merlon.dtu.dk/consortium
New vacancy alert! I have a 2 year postdoc working with C. elegans in Amsterdam! Click on the link to apply before 15 September! workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/post…
New paper! A long time in the making but super proud of the team effort across different disciplines : Combined MALDI with LC-MS for observing partial distribution of lipids in whole Caenorhabditis elegans …iencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rc…
Ready for day 2 in a lovely venue (Utrecht, Netherlands)
#ewm2024 we are here and ready for worm knowledge with old friends and new
Really excited to be part of this great research team
Very happy our new manuscript: Zebrafish and nematodes as whole organism models to measure developmental neurotoxicity is out 🤓 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Good news out of the USA, but there is still a long way to go! Where do 'forever chemicals' in drinking water come from? bbc.com/future/article…
Funded PhD in exploring endocrine disrupting chemicals in worms and fish - if you are interested please apply to work on this important topic! workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/phd-…

🎉On this day, 25 years ago, the first complete animal genome sequenced was published in Science. 25 years later, this nematode is still a pioneer in many scientific fields. Long life to #Celegans research!
Using C. elegans to detect cancer in dogs. Is there anything my favourite round worm can't do? 😆 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
