The Prince Lab

Prince Lab @UChicago. Vertebrate #development with a focus on zebrafish: patterning and migration of neurons, neural crest and placodes + education and outreach

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

The Prince lab stands up for science!

@MBLScience @ArthropodLegs What was the clearing protocol?

[Sarah Paramore, PhD @parahsaramore]

Had such a great time working with the best undergrad this summer! So proud of Rachel’s impressive new HCR skills (below)! Sad she’s going back to class/can’t be in lab full time this fall, but am very lucky she’s going to continue working with me on our pronephric adventures 🐟

Congratulations Noel and Marco! Onward and upward :)

[Vishruth Venkat @vish_venkat]

Phenomenal honors thesis on lateral lines and neural crest by @PrinceLab_UofC wondergrad Noel and amazing work on shark lateral lines by Coates lab wondergrad Marco! An honor to have worked with these two. Go #teamlateralline

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

And thank you @MadS100tist and @LabPiotrowski for getting us started with these gorgeous fish in the first place!

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

Fantastic talks by Prince lab wondergrads Noel McGrory and Theresa Christiansen on the development and innervation of #zebrafish lateral lines!

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

Congratulations to Prince Lab postdoc @parahsaramore on her latest publication looking at how Vangl works in the pulmonary mesenchyme to form lung sacculi! Another great reminder that development is beautiful :)

[Sarah Paramore, PhD @parahsaramore]

So pleased to announce that the first chunk of my graduate work is out now in @Dev_Cell 🫁🐭🔬 here we investigated the role of the planar cell polarity complex in lung sacculation, identifying a PCP-independent role for Vangl in the pulmonary mesenchyme https://t.co/UgEFcqxLT9

Next Prince lab wondergrad Noel McGrory talked about his fascinating findings on the relationships between #zebrafish neural crest and cranial placodes at #SICB2024

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

Prince lab debuts at #SICB2024 with wondergrad Theresa Christiansen talking about her amazing work on lateral line innervation and development- at her first ever conference presentation!

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

Neural crest, placodes, sharks and cephalopods- Prince and Coates labs wrapping up an incredible #sicb2024!

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

@amberchiodini Thanks for stopping by Amber!

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

New folks, new updates, same old Chicago fall and same old #zebrafish!

[Victoria Prince @Lab_VPrince]

I'm excited to announce that @InSDB_79 will be the official guest society of @SocDevBio at the 2023 SDB meeting. Don't forget abstract submission closes April 10th https://t.co/hdC7MIshi4.

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

And it’s a wrap! @UChicago and @MBLScience’s first Mini embryology course, led by our very own @Lab_VPrince and Nipam Patel finished its two week debut today. Here’s to our amazing instructors and all flies, butterflies, zebrafish, squids, chicks and anemones!

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

@DrGlia18 @Lab_VPrince We’re honoured! Thanks Dr Kucenas!

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

n/n in summary, this work shows that in #zebrafish (like other vertebrates) the head is not like the trunk, and it’s specification and migration are controlled by distinct genes- like cdx4!

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

Hot off the press- new work led by our latest graduate Manny Rocha, looking at how trunk neural crest migration is regulated! 1/n

[Victoria Prince @Lab_VPrince]

I am thrilled to see the thesis work of recent Prince Lab graduate Manny Rocha out in Developmental Biology https://t.co/TiDUW1PjB5

[The Prince Lab @PrinceLab_UofC]

6/n the environment matters, but only sometimes, it seems. Elegant cell transplantation studies showed that Cdx4 activity was not required in the somitic mesoderm for proper crest migration
