🇲🇽 Ex utero embryogenesis and stem-cell embryo models. 1st gen scientist. Group Leader at 4DCP, HHMI Janelia, USA.
- Embryo coffe at my new home @HHMIJanelia. I'm beyond excited to open my lab at such amazing institution.
- I feel really honored of receiving the Angelika Amon Young Scientist Award from MIT, specially as a 1st generation graduate student from a low-income family in Mexico. This was only possible thanks to the efforts of my family, and also the support of my advisor @jacob_hannaCheers to the winners of the Angelika Amon Young Scientist Award, @alejandroagca @weizmannscience & @melanietalata @impvienna! The award recognizes life sciences grad students from outside the US who embody an infectious enthusiasm for discovery science ki.mit.edu/news/2022/intr…
- Thrilled to share that our paper describing a platform for growing the mouse embryo from pre-gastrulation to advanced organogenesis is out today on Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158…
- Super happy to see our work out today in Cell.Our crazy journey on this continues - New Hanna lab @CellCellPress paper is out: "Post-Gastrulation Synthetic Embryos Generated Ex Utero Solely from Mouse Naïve ESCs" by the amazing @TaraziShadi @AlejandroAgCa @carinejoubran @noashefi & @MazaItay cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
- Excited to be presenting this Friday 25th my recent work on ex utero culture of mouse embryos #ISSCR2021. Join for the Theme Session MDD 4 Modelling Development. I am honoured to have received the Zhongmei Chen Award for Scientific Excellence and Abstract Merit Award
- I had a blast traveling to MIT for the Angelika Amon young scientist award ceremony. It was a dream to present my work at the Luria auditorium at the Kock Institute, and to meet so many amazing scientists. Thanks to Angelika's family and MIT for this opportunity!“Today I could see some of the same love and passion for science that I saw in Angelika, and that just what we wanted to capture.” The KI celebrates Alejandro Aguilera Castrejón and Melanie de Almeida, winners of the Angelika Amon Young Scientist Award. news.mit.edu/2022/koch-inst…
- Nice to see our work (and one of my embryo images) featured in the latest Nature Outlook: The next frontier of human embryo researchLatest Nature outlook issue feature: "The next frontier for human embryo research" nature.com/articles/d4158…
- Join us for the next public journal club this SaturdayMOUSE EMBRYOS CAN NOW BE GROWN IN A BOTTLE?! Join us this saturday to discuss this major breakthrough with @AlejandroAgCa from the @jacob_hanna ´s lab ! 👇 1/10
- One of the problems for scientist with 2 last names science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…
- Everything is thanks to you Jacob!Super proud of my student @AlejandroAgCa for receiving the 2021 Dan David Prize for PhD students. Watch out from him..he is only getting started! @DanDavidPrize @WeizmannScience
- Amazing work from Ebisuya lab that opens many new possibilities.New paper from the lab! We developed an optogenetic tool, OptoShroom3, to induce apical constriction in illuminated cells(left). By controlling cell shapes, OptoShroom3 can induce tissue shape changes, including lumen shrinkage of neural organoids(right). doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
GIF - Replying to @AlejandroAgCa"I have always been proud to use my two surnames, honoring both of my parents and my cultural heritage"
- It will be an honor to present in the conference with the best flyer ever! Don't miss the chance to register to YEN2021Last week to register for #YEN2021 ⚠️ Don't miss the chance to e-meet other early career researchers in the #devbio field youngembryologists.org/yen-2021/
