Helen Marshall’s thesis "Investigating the Role of PAX6 During Neurodevelopment Using Human Stem Cell-Derived Brain Organoids" was supervised by @DavidPrice_UoE & @johnomason at @CDBSEdinburgh. I learned a lot examining it with Tom Pratt yesterday at @EdinburghUni.

We extend our studies in understanding the role of PAX6 in neurodevelopment using human cerebral organoids! Similar to mice, PAX6 loss results in ectopic inhibitory neurons but data indicates possible species-specific differences. Short report⬇️ https://t.co/1ouAO4DI8W

The UK is planning on massively increasing visa costs. Currently a researcher looking at a 5-year Global Talent Visa, together with their partner and two children, needs to find £13.4k. All up front. A big ask. But that’s now slated to increase to… **£20.9k**

Loving all the single cell stuff in organoids…BUT… Please please show me the organoids. If your organoids look bad, then the data won’t be good. Repeat after me people: Quality👏control👏is👏key!
