April 2022

Sarah and Tanya attended the EMBO workshop 'Long-distance cell-cell signalling in development and disease' at the Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter, where Sarah presented a talk of her research project on BMP signalling and imaging in the developing zebrafish ear.

Tanya attended the BSDB/BSCB Joint Annual Spring Meeting at the University of Warwick, where it was great to catch up with friends and colleagues, including two lab alumni: Ryan Hartwell, who joined the meeting to talk to PhD students about his career in science policy, and Georgina Stooke-Vaughan, now working in the Verd lab at the University of Oxford.

The manuscript from a collaborative project with Benjamin Delprat's lab on models of Wolfram Syndrome is now published in Human Molecular Genetics:

Tanya gave a talk at the International Developmental Mechanics online seminar series on morphogenesis of the semicircular canal ducts in the zebrafish ear.  Many thanks to Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez, Priti Agarwal and Lance Davidson for organising the seminars and for the invitation to speak. 

We enjoyed a visit from Nicolas Daudet (UCL Ear Institute) and his talk on the patterning of sensory epithelia in the developing amniote ear, sponsored by the Biochemical Society.
