Mouli’s protocols for whole mount detection of small RNAs has been published in Plant Journal. The paper had also been on BioArxiv  before publication.

Everardo and Alexis will be giving talks at the LSFM 2016 conference in Sheffield.Everardo will talk about multi view stacks registration whereas will talk about the application of light sheet microscopy to study plant development.

Thrilled to attend this meeting and discuss with everyone in this light sheet community. It is always a vibrant meeting.

Everardo has joined the lab in may 2016. He is bridging to our close collaborators, neighbours and friends of the Lemke lab. Everardo is by training an engineer in cybernetics and expert in 3D image processing that developed a crush for biological specimens be them flies or plants.

A selection of the images and movies generated by the participants of the EMBO Course on Plant Live Imaging, held end of April in Heidelberg.

Amaya and Alexis spend the whole last week at EMBL for the EMBO Plant live Imaging Course. The course was a real success  with an amazing speaker lists and a lot of time for practicals and data analysis.

Supported by D. von Wangenheim (IST, austria) we could use lightsheet microscopes to look at plant development. We had two devices at our disposal: the Zeiss Lightsheet Z1 and our home built OpenSPIM.

Béatrice review article on Light sheet  and live plant imaging is now available on line.

Amaya received one of the three best talk award during the 29th Conference Molecular Biology of Plants in Dabringhausen for her presentation entitled “Microtubule dynamics during lateral root development”. Congratulation Amaya!

Now Amaya is off to Japan for a trilateral Bristol-Heidelberg-Kyoto meeting. Busy, busy 🙂

We are very happy that our latest paper is featured by Current Biology and accompanied by a very nice dispatch by Thijs de Zeeuw and Dolf Weijers (Wageningen).

Marion Louveaux joined the lab mid of February. Marion obtained her PhD in the lab of Olivier Hamant and Arezki Boudaoud at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon (France) studying the role of mechanical stress to cell division plane orientation at the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis thaliana. We are thrilled to welcome her in the team.

We wish a warm welcome to Paola who joined the lab. She obtained her PhD at the Heidelberg center for plant sciences and worked in the lab of M. Heisler at EMBL.
