Roberto Mayor Lab

The aim of our research group is to elucidate the mechanism that underlies the development of the Neural Crest, from induction to migration and differentiation.

Delighted to see our JCB work (https://t.co/ObOtQ4NWTa) beautifully summarized by Bits & Species

Mesenchymal and Epithelial-like Xenopus NC clusters use distinct force architectures to achieve comparable chemotactic performance

@SocDevBio It’s a real honour to receive the Viktor Hamburger Outstanding Educator Prize from the SDB. Teaching is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Thanks to the SDB and the hundreds of students and faculty at the @DevBioQuintay course who have made it such a joy.

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

Jorge Diaz and @mayor_lab show that epithelial and mesenchymal cells navigate chemical cues via fundamentally different force-generating mechanisms, offering new insight into how diverse cell types achieve collective movement during development & disease. https://t.co/VGPog0zIy2

Beautiful, thorough, personal in places, memoir of John Gurdon from Eddy de Robertis, disciple and friend. Å #MustRead about a generation and a time from which we have moved on but that laid the foundation for contemporary biology.

John Gurdon, whom we lost today, was not only my mentor but a dear friend. We met 30 years ago in Cambridge. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. His generosity, boundless curiosity, and sense of adventure shaped my life as a scientist 🖤 He will be missed by many.

[Samantha Morris @morris_lab]

Saddened to hear of John Gurdon’s passing. A brilliant scientist, generous mentor, and endlessly curious. When he examined my PhD viva in 2006, he’d just come from doing experiments at his bench - at 73. He shaped so many careers, including mine: https://t.co/p0OrXZv4Yy

[Alfonso Martinez Arias @AMartinezArias]

John Gurdon https://t.co/QXMjHLKlS3, beacon of a generation that tackled head on the deepest question of biology: the development of an organism. The best tribute to him and his peers should be to remember and follow the path they forged for how to do Science in form and content.
