Laurent Lab

Hi, we are Laurent’s Lab! The major research goal in our lab is to understand the cell biology of neurons, from sensory cilia to synapses.

Our latest paper is now out in @eLife! https://t.co/zorlWNZ9nw We show that 𝘊. 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘴 amphid neurons also release Extracellular vesicles (see video below). We describe the ciliary origin of these EVs and their ultimate destination (environment or AMsh glia). 1/4

In time for the new year! Our single-cell dataset of male and hermaphrodite brains is online! & a freely available website https://t.co/ys4sdHhdNE

Glad to see this work out. 1.5 years of data curation… about twice as much of analyses, endless meetings and questioning regarding the proper data assembly… what a fun challenge in the @CentrioleLab !

[Piali Sengupta @SenguptaLab]

Multiple postdocs out to academic/industry jobs + 2 grant NOAs in = open postdoc position.

Worms are great to work with, sensory biology is an endlessly fascinating topic, and we are a group of good humans. Please email if interested!

Please retweet! TWO open position for PhD candidates at my lab and Thomas Boulin's lab @Boulin_Lab, within the framework of the European Training Network: Molecular plasticity of neurons during C. elegans lifespan. for more info- https://t.co/0aeo5CIU0T

"Science is fun and being a scientist is a fun job!"

On this year's International Day for Women and Girls in Science, listen to 2023 medicine laureate Katalin Karikó speak about being a scientist.

What is your favourite thing about being a scientist?

@YeminiLab @KordingLab Thanks Ev for the advertisement. Finally i posted it,but you were faster ;-)

[Laurent Lab @LaurentLab_]

I am very proud of the Katerina and Miguel and others who did the job. A special thanks to Mia and Janet for EM and electrophy! it was a lot of fun and good science.

Hey tweeps! Curious about how neuropeptide signaling affects synaptic vesicle (SV) and dense core vesicle (DCV) dynamics? We designed a genetic screen to answer this question. https://t.co/2RVbdlFdfF

[Laurent Lab @LaurentLab_]

These results also suggest that the pro-epileptic variants of PHACTR1 lead to continuous signaling and dysregulation at presynaptic sites.

[Isabel Beets @isabelbeets]

Excited to share 2 postdoc positions in my lab! Are you interested in studying the neuropeptidergic connectome and behavior in C. elegans? Check out these positions: https://t.co/EHpLnWAqm4, https://t.co/GzZ3XpUCZI. Feel free to contact me at #Worm23, and please RT! @ERC_Research

[Laurent Lab @LaurentLab_]

PhD position alert! Join us to study the SV cluster dynamics in C. elegans. More info and how to apply here:
