The Milinkovitch Lab characterizes the complexity and diversity of surface nano-gratings in 353 species of snakes.

Hybridization and introgression during density‐dependent range expansion: European wildcats as a case study.

An ERC Advanced Grant has been awarded to Michel Milinkovitch. The grant is endowed with 2.5 million Euros over 5 years.

Our work on the African elephant skin is highlighted in the National Geographic Magazine.

How are feathers formed and what determines their number and distribution on the skin? Today, researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) have demonstrated that genetic signaling between cells and mechanical processes combine in the bird skin to form a line of propagation, along which the feather buds develop.

The ability of Hydra to regenerate or maintain a single head results from a subtle balance between activating and inhibiting activities. The latter has just been identified by a UNIGE group.

UNIGE researchers have developed an approach that combines genomics and machine learning tools to explore the microbial biodiversity of ecosystems.

Scientists have developed murine artificial pseudo- embryos capable of forming the three major axes of the body. An innovative tool to potentially replace mammalian embryos in many experimental conditions.

UNIGE researchers have observed that elephants regulate their body heat through their skin, which cracks into deep cracks, absorbing a maximum water.

The expression levels of three genes determines the predominant mode of neurogenesis and the development the cerebral neocortex in mammals
