PhD Student @andreabrandlab @nyulangone/@GurdonInstitute, @wellcometrust Developmental Mechanisms; interested in quiescent neural stem cell chromatin
Joined July 2020
Happy to share a preprint of my PhD work @andreabrandlab! We created a chromatin state model for quiescent and proliferating neural stem cells in Drosophila and found that quiescent cells gain active chromatin to support stem cell functions.

Homeostasis and repair of the nervous system is maintained by a population of resident neural stem cells (NSCs) retained in a state of reversible cell cycle arrest called quiescence. quiescent NSCs...

So happy to see this story out!
Why do quiescent neural stem cells look so much like neurons? 🤔 We showed that quiescent neural stem cells transiently adopt a neuronal identity to coordinate reactivation across the CNS! See our latest preprint here: https://t.co/ZwHn8JOS9q

Epigenetics drives cell identity inheritance, while epigenomics focuses on DNA structural partners that regulate gene activity. Understanding the difference clarifies how cells maintain their type across generations. https://t.co/G0sXS7SmvQ

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Michael Ashburner, a pioneering co-founder and former Head of Research at EMBL-EBI. His contributions to bioinformatics have been immeasurable. Our thoughts are with his family, colleagues and all those whose lives were enriched by his work.

That's a wrap on #ISSCR2023! I've met so many amazing people and was inspired by all the incredibly varied talks! Especially enjoyed the last plenary with the evolution of stem cells angle - felt like a perfect closure to everything I've heard in the last 4 days!

So excited to present my work at the #ISSCR2023 tomorrow! Come see me talk at the epigenetics and tissue biology session to hear about neural stem cells and quiescent chromatin! (Room 254 2:30pm)

Our new paper on temporal patterning is out in @Dev_journal ! We have identified a novel switching factor in the temporal cascade - in relation to its role, we have named this gene Chronophage, after the time-eating Corpus Clock @CorpusCambridge
