ICAR in Finland
Busy week in Turku (Finland) for the International Conference on Arabidopsis Research. Alexis co-organised with Yvonne Stahl a workshop on functional imaging in plants with great talks from Joop Vermeer (Zürich), Guido Grossmann (Heidelberg), Benedicte Desvoye (Madrid) and Léa Rambaud-Lavigne (Lyon).
Amaya’s work on cytsokeleton dynamics during lateral root initiation was awarded the second poster prize! Congratulations!
PhD defense of Andrea
Andrea successfully obtained his PhD for his work “The Arabidopsis tasiARFs pathway: unraveling its role in root and embryo development”. True to his reputation, he celebrated the event adequately 🙂
Congratulations Dr. Scarpa.

Alexis will be giving a talk on cell division patterns in plant morphogenesis during the Tissue Self-Organisation meeting organised by Darren Gilmour, Takashi Hiiragi, Celeste M. Nelson & Orion Weiner at EMBL.
2nd Neubias conference (Bioimage Analysis conference) in Hungary
Marion Louveaux is representing the lab in Szeged during the 2nd NEUBIAS Conference (27 Jan – 02 Feb 2018). She will present her pipeline to extract & analyse cell geometries.
Lateral Root workshop in Montpellier
The lab traveled “en force” to Montpellier last week to attend the always exciting lateral root workshop. Amaya, Béatrice, Marion, Michael & Alexis joined ~60 other lateral root fanatics to discuss their latest results. In addition to great science and discussion, the weather and food were as one can expect from Montpellier: brilliant!
New postdoc!
We are very happy to welcome Jazmin Reyes-Hernandez. Jazmin comes from Mexico and did her PhD with Joseph Dubrovsky.
Plant RNA symposium in Portugal
Zhaoxue Ma will be representing the lab in Oeiras (Portugal) at the 2017 IGC Symposium on Plant RNA Biology . In her talk she will present her results on AGO7.
Visit of very young researchers
[singlepic id=61 w=450]
A group of 5/6-year old from a local preschool visited COS to discover what is research in biology.
The children observed flies, plants and anemones. They mixed and unmixed colors and even extracted DNA from tomato!
Their visit was a real success. The children, the teachers and the COS members were thrilled by the event.
This event built upon a teaching concept developed by Yohanns Bellaïche (Institut Curie, France) and curated by the Cercle FSER.
A huge thanks goes to: Marion Louveaux, Paola Ruiz Duarte, Emmanuel Gaquerel, Zheni Li, Olympe Grandcolas, Andrea Leibfried, Julie Carnesecchi, Katrin Domsch, Victor Jones, Marie Jacobovitz, Diana Bryant and Gideon Bergheim for making this event possible.
