Elated to share my lab’s first paper just published @Nature
We present a new strategy from a single stem cell type to study events in human development.
After past weeks flurry of excitement on this topic, we hope you’ll enjoy our complementary story too.

We’re pleased to share our first publication from the Sozen lab, now out @Nature! Through our 3D strategy, we capture spontaneous emb. + exembr. lineage bifurcation to study aspects of early human embryo patterning, starting from a single stem cell type.

I am constantly surprise by the barrier that many postdocs looking for a job in the #biosci find when they have a #preprint. They are often told: don’t bother to apply until you publish your paper. Brief rantish 🧵
Incredible honor to receive the @Vilcek prize for creative promise on biomedical sciences🎉 Huge congrats to Karolin Luger, @AashishManglik , and @BernaSozen_ 🥳 It was great meeting you all! The next application deadline is coming up, apply!!
Cambridge → Boston → Cambridge again: I’m thrilled to return to Cambridge(UK) to open my lab @GurdonInstitute@Cambridge_Uni !🥳

Funding cuts are pushing U.S. academic science to a breaking point. From grad students to tenured faculty, researchers face shrinking jobs, frozen grants, and growing pressure to leave the field or the country. @k_langin https://t.co/ADBwA4LIPz
Just received my F31 score, and I'm in awe. So ecstatic the effort was noticed. Huge thanks to the team backing me up through this process, especially my PI @BernaSozen_ 🤍 Grateful to be part of @YaleGenetics#womenshealthresearch let’s gooo!!!
Had an incredible time at @Yale! Huge thanks for the warm welcome and the chance to share our work at the seminar. Thrilled by the engaging discussions and brilliant minds! Special thanks to @BernaSozen_ Maurizio Chioccioli and @h4rrymcnamara!
a real pleasure to write this piece with @martinperaJAX and Patrick Tam, where we reflect on recent insights and open questions in early human development:

Our latest out today @Nature!
We revisit a century-old theory and show that metabolic gradients work hand-in-hand with genetic&signalling instructions to shape the embryo. Glucose isn't just an energy source, it acts as a major conductor of the body plan🍬

Thrilled to announce that our lab is relocating to the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory of the Max Planck Society @maxplanckpress and @MPI_Bio in winter 2025. We’ll have open positions— please help us spread the word and stay tuned for more updates! 🐸 🐁 🥳
🍭 @DominicaCao, Jenna Bergmann (@bergmann_jenna), and a team in Dr. @BernaSozen_'s lab examined the role of glucose in #gastrulation!
