Neuronal diversity is written in transcriptional codes 🧬. But what is the logic of these codes that define cell types and wiring patterns? To find out we built a #scRNAseq developmental atlas of the Drosophila nerve cord and linked it to the #connectome 🪰🧠 Tweeprint! ⬇️1/8
Our new & improved SAFE Labs Handbook Paper is now live! Co-authored with all attendees of the 2024 workshop, particularly co-organisers @BugeonS, Letizia Mariotti, & @ggFedericoRossi. Rated by over 200 participants, with overwhelming support!
A fellowship is available in our lab. Apply or spread the world. linkedin.com/hiring/jobs/37….
Big day for neuroscience & the end of the beginning for whole brain connectomics. Shout out to @sdorkenw and Philipp Schlegel, first authors of the connectome papers, @MurthyLab @SebastianSeung for establishing #flywire to make this possible and @dddavi for birthing this dataset.

Do you love big data and the brain? We have #ScienceJobs for you! In Drosophila there are >11,000 cell types that define the circuit structure of the connectome – but we don't know their molecular identity. Integrating connectomes and transcriptomes would be revolutionary. RT 1/3
Social evening @FondazionePrada... Interesting piece of art for a fly meeting #XXIDRC
A great start to the #XXIDRC with Aurelio Teleman's keynote at @IFOMresearch The mystery of growth control! #drosophila
Join us for the 20th edition of the Italian Drosophila Conference in Milan, March 6-8, 2024! Keynote speakers will be Florence Besse (IBV, Nizza) and Aurelio Teleman (DKFZ, Heidelberg). Abstract submission and registation: ifom.eu/events/xx-dros… Please redistribute!
📢 Following the recent approval of the five #NationalFacilities to be implemented at Human Technopole, the first calls for open positions have been published. All positions and application details are available at careers.humantechnopole.it 👉 Apply by 1 September
Last 2d to apply for post-doc and research assistant positions in our #connectomics group!
Last 2d to apply for post-doc and research assistant positions in our #connectomics group!
Would you like to shape the future of connectomics ... even neuroscience? Fresh from finishing the two largest connectomes ever, we have post-doc and research assistant positions in the @flyconnectome group @CamZoology (collab w @MRC_LMB @ScottishWaddell @janeliaflyem) Pls RT 1/4
Huge congratulations for this milestone!
