Hello world!
I have been studying cilia since 2005, been modestly active on Twitter since 2014 and will be posting about anything related to #cilia, #signaling, #BardetBiedlSyndrome
#Introduction
I am Alice (ah-lee-che) and I am fascinated by #DevBio #regeneration and tissue #plasticity of complex sensory organs.
As a postdoc at the Stowers Institute, I established a new system (an apple snail) to study - for the first time - the complete regeneration of camera-type eyes. I also developed tools to turn this snail into a genetically tractable organism.
I always enjoy a coffee discussing about #science, #mentorship and #DEI.

Hi #ScienceMastodon, time for an #introduction!
I'm an #EvoDevo biologist interested in how tissue #mechanics influences the #evolution of #morphogenesis. I study a deep and mysterious epithelial invagination that forms at the head-trunk boundary of #flies during #gastrulation, known as the #CephalicFurrow (see video below!). Currently, based in Germany as a postdoc in the Tomancak Lab at MPI-CBG. Looking forward to meeting you!
#Introduction
I am a Biologist currently finishing my PhD in the Piotrowski lab at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, USA. My thesis project focuses on how #zebrafish lateral line systems adapt to different salinities and pH.
I am fascinated by how cells decide what to become and how these decisions can be shaped by the environment these cells are in.
I am also a #mitochondria enthusiast and I am particularly interested in connecting #metabolism with cell fate.
