Interested in doing your PhD in Lisbon, working in neurodevelopment and Drosophila? Our group is looking for candidates to apply for a FCT PhD fellowship! See below for more info and visit our group's page at tinyurl.com/4yf8jh9y. Repost appreciated!

In our latest article we demonstrate that Drosophila brain development is under the coordination of the hormone ecdysone. We show that neuroblasts have an intrinsic capacity to proliferate indefinitely and require ecdysone signalling to determine cell cycle pace!

According to our model, the onset of translation is delayed in order to regulate neuronal maturation. Learn more by checking the link in our bio!

Our postdoc Ana just signed her CEEC contract, granting her funds to pursue her scientific work for the next 6 years! Congrats ! @nova_medschool @fct_pt @NOVAunl

These defects are similar to the defects that are observed when neural tube closure defects occur in human fetuses, and sets important foundations to understand how folic acid works during brain formation.
