Farewell lunch for Sound and Zoé!!

Visit by students from Hwa Chong Institution: Tann and Nicole provided a demonstration on paraffin-embedded tissue sectioning and histological observation using mouse samples.

Vignesh's poster presentation on the last day of his MUST program. During the MUST summer internship, he made impressive progress on his project. 

It was great to see how quickly he adapted to the lab environment and contributed meaningful insights in such a short time!!

Farewell lunch to send off Emmanuel and Kosuke. Wishing them all the best in their next adventures!

Xingyu's last day. Hope her bright future!!

Kosuke Mizuno, who recently started his internship in our lab, gave a seminar on a synthetic approach to studying pattern formation by controlling cell adhesion and cell death (published and ongoing). Exciting discussions even after the seminar!

# sorry for the blurry photo—my phone camera is broken.

Prof. Seiji Takashima from Shinshu University gave the seminar about his finding on spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs).  SSCs passing through the blood-testis bareer is truly a mystery!!

An insightful seminar by Prof. Mitsuru Morimoto from RIKEN BDR, focusing on stem cell regulation and tissue morphogenesis in murine development and regeneration. Impressed by his beautiful integration of mouse genetics, tissue imaging, and scRNA-seq analysis.

Farewell to Haoshun – We wish you all the best in your bright future! 

Welcome Owen to our lab! We hope your time here will be fruitful and rewarding!

Veronica and Haoshun gave their first oral talks at the TMM seminar at the MBI.  The discussion didn't stop when the seminar ended—people kept talking and sharing ideas. Good job to both!

Aki and Shuya from Kanazawa University shared their exciting research findings with us, sparking a lively exchange of questions and discussions on the topics. We really enjoyed their energetic talks!

Dr. Thanh (Tann) Phuong Nguyen from the National Institute for Physiological Sciences presented a seminar about the importance of tight junction membrane proteins in mechanical resistance of epithelial sheets. The preprint is available here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.08.02.551232v1

It was a great talk, followed by engaging discussions!

Prof. Masa Ikawa from Osaka University delivered a seminar at the MBI, discussing the fascinating topic of CRISPR/Cas9 mouse genome editing and its relevance to spermatology and fertilization. It was a truly fantastic talk!

Pratiman got the best poster prize for the MBI Undergrad Summer Training (MUST) program. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement! 

Also, kudos to his mentor Sound, whose guidance and support were totally crucial in making this happen!!
