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.

Many congratulations to Anzar on passing his PhD viva with minor corrections - and
thanks to examiners Richard Mead (Sheffield Medical School) and David Lyons (University of Edinburgh).  Anzar gave an excellent pre-viva talk in the morning and we all enjoyed a post-viva celebration in the afternoon!

Tanya and Nick attended the Crick Bioimage Analysis Symposium 2021 online.

Congratulations to Tania Mendonca, Ana, Sarah and our collaborators in the Frangi group - Tania's image analysis paper is now published in PLoS Computational Biology:

October 2021

We welcome undergraduate students Barbora, Dimitra, Esther and Jinhee, who are joining us for their Level 3 Laboratory Research Projects this semester.

Nahal started a 6-month placement at Sosei Heptares, Granta Park, Cambridge, as part of her PhD project on the adhesion GPCR Adgrg6 (Gpr126).

Tanya, Sarah and Nahal gave a talk on the Adgrg6 drug screening project at the Neuroscience Institute Autumn Conference, University of Sheffield.

September 2021

Lab lunch for the first time in over a year!  

Congratulations to Anzar, who has submitted his PhD thesis.  We wish him well for his future career and new job at Sosei Heptares, Cambridge.

Nick led a discussion session on 'Sample Preparation and Experimental Set Ups for Pushing the Limits of Live Imaging' at the Zeiss Half Day Online Symposium 'Future Perspectives in Live Imaging'. ​
