An exciting milestone for the Bayin lab! Our first PhD thesis submitted! Congratulations @jensbager.bsky.social πΎπΎ #proudPI π
Part of Jensβ PhD work can be found in our latest publication.
We have written a review on MADS-box genes expression in developing floral organs, which has been under-explored as compared to their early role to specify floral organ identity.
Congrats to Emma DΓ©sert for her first review article as a PhD student! #proudPI @rdplab.bsky.social
One society, two journals, two passions, two cool stories coming soon!
Bravo Marcos & @tpellegrinetti.bsky.social π

Peroxisomes continued - this time by @darladr.bsky.social, absolutely brilliant PhD student in my lab. Darla and @kucharowski.bsky.social are masters in pupal brain imaging, which allows us to investigate organelle dynamics in neurons of the remodeling fly brain.

Itβs thesis read-through day! There are pros and cons to the thesis vs portfolio approach, but thereβs something really incredible about getting to read either cover to cover as a single piece of scholarship from someone π€ππ€π§ͺβ¨

Today, I am extremely proud of my PhD student @itziarburgues.bsky.social as she is sending out the invitation to her PhD defense at @ub.edu (Barcelona, πͺπΈ). It was great pleasure and an honour to supervise her over the last 2 years, but now it is time to kick her out of the nest π₯π£π€. #ProudPI
Peroxisomes rock - and Nicole Kucharowski rocks OEPM 2026 in Leuven!
At the biannual Open European Peroxisome Meeting in Leuven, Belgium, Nicole presented our latest research on the interaction between peroxisomes and the Golgi apparatus.
Please join me in congratulating Dr. @jiaxuwu.bsky.social on successfully defending his PhD! ππ
It was not an easy journey. There was stress, uncertainty, and more than one moment when we did not know whether the PhD would come together as we had hoped. But we made it! πͺπΏ
