Welcome to Andrea Scarpa who joins the lab for his PhD.

We are thrilled to host Dr. Javier Palatnik from the IBR Rosario (Argentina). Javier presented his very nice work on the biology of miRNA-containing networks in leaves and root growth.

Alexis and Mouli will be presenting their results on RNA turnover and Silencing in Arabidopsis thaliana at the non-coding RNA meeting hosted at the DKFZ.

Nadine Geier successfully defended her Bsc thesis. Congratulation Nadine!

Amaya represented the lab in West Sussex (UK) for the “Coordinating Cell Polarity” workshop.

Alexis went to Montpellier to present the lab work on lateral root morphogenesis during the Plants Growth and Modeling meeting.

Two papers were recently published. First, our review in EMBO Journal on the links between RNA silencing and endomembranes. Second, our work in collaboration with the Geldner lab on how the lateral root primordium interacts with the overlying endodermis, was published in Science.

Same place, same time… Alexis went back to the always very nice plant Molecular Biology Conference in Dabringhausen.

Alexis went to the Curie Institute in Paris to present our work on plant organ morphogenesis during the Workshop on tissue mechanics and growth.

Amaya and Alexis travelled to Santiago de Chile to animate and present our work during the first Santander summer school on Visualization and Manipulation of Organismal Morphogenesis. It was an amazing event with great students from all around the world and exceptional speakers.
