The DB Unit Summer School, "Transitions in Developing Systems," kicked off with an incredible talk by Thibaut Brunet @thibautbrunet.bsky.social from the Pasteur Institute @pasteur.fr on the fascinating transition from unicellularity to multicellularity in choanoflagellates #EMBLDevBio

Time for data analysis practicals here at #EMBLDevBio! 💻

There's always more to learn at the DB unit Summer School @embl.org ! After two engaging practical sessions yesterday from the Aulehla and Petridou groups @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social , today we will be diving into data analysis #EMBLDevBio

Day 6 of the DB Unit Summer School at EMBL started with an insightful lecture by Caren Norden @nordenlab.bsky.social on the impact of nuclear properties on the behaviour of Zebrafish retinal neuroepithelia. #EMBLDevBio

Time for a new practical at the DB unit summer school @embl.org ! This session features the sea anemone Nematostella and explores the larva-to-polyp transition driven by neuropeptide signaling. Thanks to the Ikmi group @aikmi.bsky.social 🤩 #EMBLDevBio

It's Planarian Time at the DB Unit Summer School!
Today's practical is being led by the Vu group @hanhtkvu.bsky.social and focuses on size-dependent physiological changes throughout the life cycle of planarian flatworms #EMBLDevBio

Day 3 of the DB summer school "Transitions in developing systems: from theory to experiments" started with a fantastic talk by Guillaume Salbreux, from the University of Geneva, who discussed transitions in populations of coupled phase oscillators #EMBLDevBio

Did you miss the deadline for the #EMBLDevBio course? Good news! You can still register until 2 April. Join us for a unique course on biological transitions during development across species.

If you are interested in integrating conceptual theory with cutting-edge experiments to understand complex living systems this course is for you #EMBLDevBio
