Emily Darin

CMDB PhD candidate @UCSanDiego @SDSU in the @Shikuma Lab studying the genetic machinery behind bacterial induced metamorphosis.

[Emily Darin @DarinToDevo]

Defended my PhD yesterday ! Grateful for my mentor @ShikumaLab for encouraging my ideas and goals, the pep talks and brainstorming post-it sessions, and teaching me quiet authority, the kind that speaks through work not words ✨ ✨✨

MGI's Elizabeth Heath-Heckman recently authored a PNAS commentary highlighting new research which reveals that Hydroides elegans—a marine tubeworm—relies on the immune signaling protein MyD88 to undergo metamorphosis in response to bacterial cues.

Is bacterial induced metamorphosis an adaptation to escaping pathogens?

I’ll be giving a talk tomorrow at the Gordon Research Symposium at 10:40 if you want to find out !

And if you want to know even more, come to my talk on Wednesday at the Gordon Research Conference :)

Very excited to share this paper our lab just published! Super grateful to @ShikumaLab. If you're interested/have questions about using this technology in your system please DM! Lets make gene knock downs more accessible to diverse marine larvae :) https://t.co/J0OUnmlHBm

Proud to be a part of such great work ! @ShikumaLab

Is immunity tied to development in a basal metazoan? Check out PhD student Emily Darin's poster at the Chicago @SocDevBio meeting tomorrow!

First three weeks of my PhD have been filled with lots of fun cloning, plasmid making and Ciona electroporations in the Zeller lab! Best feeling is when your restriction enzyme digest works and you get bands!! Time to cut them out ✂️

Kicked off the last week of #EvoDevoEmbryo @MarineBiol_FHL @UW with a field trip to False Bay @sanjuanislands to collect Nemerteans to spawn. Mission accomplished & absolutely gorgeous day! @aheyland @DarintoDevo @HenryHUDLS @Evo_Doro @cnidarianessa @AndersenFields @JanakisMaddy

Happy Juneteenth to all!! Last week Andreas Heyland ⁦⁦@aheyland⁩ and I started an intensive #EvoDevoEmbryo course at Friday Harbor Labs ⁦⁦@MarineBiol_FHL⁩ We’ve had so many embryos that we are super busy, but we’re loving it!! ❤️❤️❤️
