Stathopoulos Lab

We are a developmental biology lab at Caltech uncovering gene regulation and cell migration dynamics in the Drosophila embryo.

My artwork made it to cover of @Dev_Cell! It’s a representation of the findings of our latest study. Can’t imagine a better way to mark my last day as a postdoc!

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

We had a farewell party for postdocs Susie Newcomb @suztown and @FrankMacabenta this weekend as they move on to new positions! Susie will be an Assistant Director for Faculty Development at the @USC CET, and Frank will be an Assistant Professor at @CSUMB! All the best to both!

If you're a cell, taking the road less traveled can have deadly consequences.🛣️ Happy to announce that postdoc @FrankMacabenta and former undergrad Miriam Sun's new paper on quality control during collective migration has been published in @Dev_Cell! https://t.co/idpRy6R7k1

[Angelike Stathopoulos @Angela_Stathop]

WE ARE HIRING in sunny Los Angeles! (1) Postdoc position to study how signaling checkpoints act to ensure cells migrating off-track are eliminated by programmed cell death. (2) An entry-level research technician position is available to provide support. https://t.co/1fDWv6oSw8

On the brink(er) of a breakthrough? Susie @suztown explains her and Leslie’s beautiful work on characterizing the regulation of brinker in the ovary and its roles in regulating tissue homeostasis and Dpp levels! Read the story here: https://t.co/11chHEZi2g #Dros22

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

Finally, @FrankMacabenta will be presenting his upcoming work on how FGF and BMP work together to set up a quality control mechanism that eliminates wandering cells during muscle founder cell collective migration! Check out poster 214C on April 9 1:30-3:30pm!

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

The @stathlab is at #Dros22! We are presenting posters on gene regulation in the ovary, our NanuTrap system, and cell cycle-dependent quality control during collective cell migration! So excited to be in our first in-person meeting in a while 🥳 🪰

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

Zsuzsa Ákos will be presenting her work on using the NaNuTrap method to investigate interdependent tissue dynamics during gastrulation — check out poster 594B April 8 2-4pm to learn more!

Merry Flymas from the Stathopoulos Lab! May you and your loved ones have a safe and joyous holiday! 🎄

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

Had a great time carving pumpkins with the @voorheeslab! The pumpkins were so cool -- one might even venture to say, gourd-geous! 🎃

[Rebecca Voorhees @voorheeslab]

Some pretty good pumpkins from the labs on our floor!

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

FP maturation times got you down? No prob-llama! Our latest study helmed by postdoc Zsuzsa Ákos and published in @Dev_journal describes NaNuTrap, a technique that utilizes llama nanobodies for rapid labeling of nuclei in #Drosophila for live imaging!

Best wishes to @t_koromila as she prepares to move to Texas to set up her own lab at @utarlington! We look forward to the exciting new discoveries the Koromila Lab has in store! 👩‍🔬

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

@jbwallingford @UTAustin @PLOSGenetics Yes!!

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

We've seen the light, and with great spatial and temporal resolution, too! 💡 Happy to announce that our collaboration with David Stein @UTAustin describing a new photo-N-degron for in vivo #optogenetics studies is now online! @PLOSGenetics

@___SDB___ @USC Congratulations!!

[Caltech @Caltech]

We congratulate @francesarnold on being appointed by President-elect Biden to co-chair the President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology. PCAST advises the president on matters involving science, technology, education, and innovation policy. https://t.co/7UuFMG6aVl

[Stathopoulos Lab @stathlab]

A great @nytimes piece on the hardworking people maintaining the @flystocks at the BDSC in Indiana! Truly well-deserved recognition, and I'm sure other #Drosophila labs out there will join us in expressing our profound gratitude! https://t.co/haAN4lguhC
