Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meetingscdb2026.sites.ucsc.eduBittersweet Tahoe retreat with the lab - we said goodbye to Laurent @laurentformery.bsky.social as he starts his new lab www.echinox.org @biom-banyuls.bsky.social. He made his indelible mark in our lab. Very excited to watch new discoveries from his own lab. He will always be LoweLab for us.
Echinox LaboratoryThe Echinox Laboratory uses several echinoderm species as natural experiments on body plans to investigate the developmental mechanisms of animal evolutionwww.echinox.orgLaurent Formery@lowelab.bsky.social lab retreat in #Tahoe for my last week in the US. It's very sad to say goodbye to such a great group of people, and to an amazing mentor 🥹🥹 But there are new exciting adventures ahead!!
Check out the invited speakers for the Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meetings next summer. It is going to be a great meeting. Registration and Abstract submission will be live early 2026.
John WallingfordThe 2026 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting website is LIVE!!! Go see the incredible list of scientists who will be speaking at the meeting next summer! (...and check the site early next year for info on registration and abstract submission.) scdb2026.sites.ucsc.edu
Save the date for the next Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting next summer.
John WallingfordSAVE THE DATE! Stoked to organize the 2026 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting with @rashmi-priya.bsky.social, @lowelab.bsky.social, and Shelbi Russell. Come learn about Biomedicine, Biomechanics, and the Biosphere, August 24-28, 2026. Registration dates, etc., coming soon! Please RT
Great collaboration between @paulbump.bsky.social and @planaria1.bsky.social lab. Some really surprising findings for cell type turnover during hemichordate metamorphosis.
Paul BumpExcited to share our recent work from @lowelab.bsky.social on the intersection of life history and cell type evolution: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Want to be on the ground floor for exciting new insights into echinoderm body plan and life history evolution? Apply to this lab!!! Laurent Formery is just getting going and will be making key insights in this space. Banyuls is beautiful and has a great team working in deuterostome development.
Laurent FormeryI am very happy to announce that the Echinox Lab will open in the BIOM unit at @obs-banyuls.fr in January 2026!! 🥳 We will use several echinoderm species to study animal body plan evolution. 🔽 Check our brand new lab website if you want to learn more about our future research www.echinox.org
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... Check out this new manuscript from Loh Lab at Stanford on the developmental origins of the vertebrate CNS.
Two parallel lineage-committed progenitors contribute to the developing brainThe hindbrain is a life-sustaining brain region. In one model, a common neural progenitor generates all brain regions. Here our studies of mouse embryos and human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) suppor...www.biorxiv.orgThis is one of the best parts of the job - seeing talented, hard-working people being recognized and given the opportunity to start their own groups. Laurent is just getting started on echinoderms.... talented ambitious people on the lookout for a position in a great new lab.... stay tuned.
Laurent FormeryI am honored and beyond happy to share that I have been awarded an @inserm.fr #ATIP-Avenir fellowship to start my own lab to study body plan evolution in #echinoderms 🤩 Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!!
Want a growing and awesome community studying fundamentals in developmental and cell biology using emerging marine models. Apply for this postdoc.
Barone LabJob Alert! We are recruiting one postdoc to work on spiralian embryos and their crazy polar lobes. More info about this HFSP-funded position on our website baronelab.org: scroll to the end, click on "this could be you"...start your adventure!

Antero-posterior patterning in the brittle star Amphipholis squamata and the evolution of echinoderm body plans - EvoDevoAlthough the adult pentaradial body plan of echinoderms evolved from a bilateral ancestor, identifying axial homologies between the morphologically divergent echinoderms and their bilaterian relatives...evodevojournal.biomedcentral.comAnother beautiful paper from @laurentformery.bsky.social . This species, A.squamata, is a viviparous brooder - juveniles year round. Near and dear to my heart as I worked on it for my thesis. Laurent took it to another level. First installment of a new series of papers he is working on.
Laurent FormeryIf you like snowflakes, check our new preprint about axial patterning in brittle stars ⭐ We looked at the expression of anteroposterior patterning genes in Amphipholis squamata juveniles, and compared it with existing data from other classes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @lowelab.bsky.social
