April 2024

Aaron presented a poster of his PhD project work at the BSDB/Genetics Society joint spring meeting 'Developmental Genetics' at the University of Warwick.

Nick and Ethan attended the one-day meeting 'Light-sheet in Action: structural and dynamic microscopy from cells to animals' at the Crick Institute, London.

Sarah gave a talk on her research project on the role of Bmper in development of the zebrafish embryo at the School of Biosciences 'Building Tissues' seminar series.

Tanya gave a talk 'Adgrg6 in the zebrafish: development, disease modelling and drug discovery' at the final meeting of the Adhern' Rise COST Action on Adhesion GPCRs, held at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague), in Prague, Czechia.  Many thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to speak and for an excellent meeting.

Tanya also gave a seminar at the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (PDN) at the University of Cambridge, hosted by Professor Clare Baker, and spent a very enjoyable day there discussing epithelial cell dynamics with members of staff, postdocs and students.

March 2024

Ethan has been making great strides in building a light-sheet fluorescence microscope over in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.  The microscope is now ready to start imaging zebrafish embryos.  Ethan presented a poster of his PhD project work at the Focus in Microscopy (FOM2024) meeting in Genoa, Italy.


Aaron attended a two-day Adhern' Rise COST Action training school on visualisation and analysis of protein structures at the University of Oxford, where he gave a flash talk on his PhD work.  

February 2024

Ethan, Sarah, Ashley and Tanya visited the the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany, to see automated zebrafish embryo sorting robots in action, and Tanya gave a seminar on the lab's drug discovery and ototoxicity work.  Many thanks to Stefan Scholz and Riccardo Massei for hosting us!  We had a very enjoyable visit, and made sure to include time to sample coffee and cakes in town:


Tanya also visited the lab of Ines Liebscher at the University of Leipzig to discuss work on Adhesion GPCRs.
