Scientist in the Wolf Reik group, Altos Labs. Studying epigenetic mechanisms of enhancers, dev bio. and CRISPR tech. He/Him. Views are my own.
Joined August 2017
Preprint alert! 🎉 @C_D_Todd and the team used multi-omic profiling of human and mouse embryonic development to identify a conserved program of epigenetic priming at lineage specific enhancers for all three germ layers within the epiblast. https://t.co/bSMkpnlfuE

My first paper from my PhD with @PaluchLab at @LMCB_UCL and @PDN_Cambridge is out in @J_Cell_Sci: Proteomic analysis of the actin cortex in interphase and mitosis
journals.biologists.com
Summary: Contractile tension at the actomyosin cortex is a key determinant of cell shape. Cortices from cells with high and low tension were analysed using mass spectrometry, generating a dataset of...

Fascinating insights into early embryonic development coming from an incredibly talented colleague (who you should all be keeping an eye on)
Now online in @CellStemCell! We discovered that extraembryonic membrane amnion is formed in two waves in primate embryos and established a pluripotent stem cell-based model closely recapitulating this process 🧵1/13 https://t.co/5DXmtQtRay

Also I can't stress enough how this was a great experience and that I can encourage anyone who is approached by @Olivia_A_Grant to get over their nerves and get involved!

While painful to listen to my own voice I'm excited to see the interesting discussion about transposable elements I had with @theGenomicsLab host Olivia will be released tomorrow! (this was a real test of how much I remember my transposon knowledge)
quick spoiler of tomorrow's episode with @C_D_Todd from @ReikLab at the @BabrahamInst ! fun convos about transposable elements and epigenetic priming of enhancers, tomorrow at 10am! 🧬

Now published in @eLife! 🎉 We show that transient iPSC reprogramming can substantially rejuvenate human fibroblast cells (many markers suggest by about 30 years)! Congratulations to @Diljeet_Gill who led the work. Thread below 👇🧵 https://t.co/G926tkK1UI

Transiently reprogramming human fibroblasts up to the maturation phase rejuvenates cells according to several aging markers whilst enabling them to return to their original identity.

Been wondering how to best do CUT&Tag and how it compares to ChIP-seq? We've got you covered! 📢 New preprint led by @dihuscientistdj and Leyla Abbasova, where we optimised and benchmarked CUT&Tag: CUT&Tag recovers up to half of ENCODE ChIP-seq peaks https://t.co/d8EZfl4Fjx
