Come along to poster B101 this evening to learn about our work to develop low-cost diagnostic tests for #Oropouche #virus, an insect-borne #zoonotic #orthobunyavirus circulating unmonitored in South America! I promise to rant about #climatechange & #biosurveillance! #MicroSoc22

RIP Mr Meade. A truly extraordinary man. So many memories of kindness and hilarity
It is with great sadness that I learnt today of the passing of Gerald Meade, Head Porter at Peterhouse. I know how highly he was regarded by his colleagues and how much he was loved by everyone at the college. RIP. @Peterhouse_Cam

8th Nov, twice the science: We’ll have @BenSteventon2 & @JamieMcGinn3 (2.30PM UK time)! Hear about how a biomechanical switch regulates the transition towards homeostasis + learn more about integrating pattern formation & cell movements during #morphogenesis! #CamMorphoSeries

Made this video of a mutant clone (in green) in the mouse oesophagus "eating" a micro-tumour (in red) Reminds you of someone? 😜

Interested in #evolution and #morphogenesis? Twice the science next Monday on #CamMorphoSeries: 2 systems 🌱🪰 + 2 talks by @RenskeVroomans and Mateusz Trylinski (@lab_baum)!
Catch @RenskeVroomans and Mateusz Trylinski from @lab_baum, for two exciting talks on Mon 25th Oct (2:30 pm UK time). Renske's talk is on the evolution of multicellularity and Mateusz will tell us more about glial ensheathment! #morphogenesis #CamMorphoSeries

Congratulations to @JamieMcGinn3 for passing her PhD viva today in about 1.5h! That must surely be a record time! We are all so proud and excited in the lab! Many thanks to examiners Sara @WickstromLab and Walid @WTKLAB for their helpful insight & suggestions. @SCICambridge

Huge congratulations @Bartomeu_Colom and all those involved. This is an amazing paper and a great story!
Out today @Nature! Human tissues accumulate cancer-driver mutations with age, yet tumor formation remains rare, why!? We show that mutant clones in the normal epithelium can have a tumor-protective role by outcompeting and eliminating nascent tumors. https://t.co/GfBaLNHvBq

So excited to be included and super excited to hear from all your speakers this term - betting they will be amazing!
Get ready for a new term and more amazing #Morphogenesis talks! Here's the lineup for Michaelmas 2021. We're kicking it off with @mleptin. Join us online every Monday (from 11th Oct) at 2.30pm GMT.

Congratulations on this paper from Centre-funded PhD student @JamieMcGinn3 in @MariaPAlcolea lab! @CRUKCamTraining @CRUKCamEarlyDx
New research published in @NatureCellBio: @JamieMcGinn3, @MariaPAlcolea and colleagues report new insights into the mechanisms regulating epithelial cell fate transitions in normal and perturbed states, linking fate switching to changes in tissue mechanics. More below 👇 (1/5)

A big day for us! First official publication and wow am I excited. Thanks to all involved 😊!
1/5-My first last author paper by my talented PhDstudent @JamieMcGinn3 is finally out @NatureCellBio! We show how the progressive stretching of the oesophagus after birth triggers the transition from developmental growth to adult homeostasis @SCICambridge

Another one, @MariaPAlcolea is on a roll. A super cool story, congrats @Paula_JGomez and @MTBejar ☺️
1/4: Latest preprint from my lab! Adult fate plasticity and microenvironmental reprogramming. We use scRNA-seq to study the temporality of cell identity conversion. Exciting work by two gifted scientists @MTBejar and @Paula_JGomez.👇 @SCICambridge
