Please check out our job post @biologists.bsky.social! We are recruiting a Postdoc Scientist to develop cutting-edge tools and techniques for bioengineering human lymphatic networks, as part of an interdisciplinary collaboration with the group of Prof Dame Molly Stevens! bit.ly/3La9idq

Collaborative science is just so much fun! From our brilliant collaboration with Liz Robertson from @dunnschool.bsky.social; embryology, single cell omics and computational biology deliver new insights into the intricacies of blood and endothelial development. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🧪 Job alert 🔊 we are hiring a Research Assistant - join the Simões Group at DPAG-IDRM @ox.ac.uk supporting #cardiovascular development and regeneration research, working with #zebrafish and #human stem cell systems: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru... @oxforddpag.bsky.social @idrm.ox.ac.uk (1/4)

Exciting news! Dr Jacinta Kalisch-Smith, @jkalism.bsky.social, has been awarded a BHF fellowship to explore how placental blood vessels support fetal growth and development. Her research could change how we detect and prevent complications during pregnancy. 🔗 Read more: shorturl.at/OVzqq

Feto-placental blood vessel development In this Review, Jacinta Kalisch-Smith @jkalism.bsky.social gives an overview of placental vascular development and pathologies in mice and humans and highlights key remaining questions in the field: doi.org/10.1242/dev....

Epigenetic regulation of placental vascularization - now published in Developmental Cell (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...). Congratulations & thanks to Stephanie Gehrs for fantastic work and paving the way of the www.augustinlab.de into the world of vascular epigenetics. There’s more to come!

Very happy to share I've written a review on placental vascular formation in mice and humans, now published in @dev-journal.bsky.social. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/... @idrm.ox.ac.uk Funded by the @thebhf.bsky.social

Nice highlight on this recent @embojournal.org paper! www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I had a some great news this week, being awarded an independent @thebhf.bsky.social fellowship. Thanks to the support from @idrm.ox.ac.uk @oxforddpag.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk colleagues past and present. Looking forward to the next few years investigating placental vascular development.

✨Excited to share our work revisiting the developmental origins of mammalian lymphatic endothelial cells.✨ A summary of our key findings using scRNA-seq, snMultiome-seq and imaging to show the direct specification of mesenchymal progenitors to LECs🧵 #blutorial #blabstract tinyurl.com/LECspec

Very happy to share our work on lymphatic endothelial cell specification, which was published in Nature Cardiovascular Research this week.

Here in the UK, the HFEA is recommending changing the 14-day rule on human embryo research to allow culture up to 28 days. This will open up new avenues of research into previously inaccessible stages of development, and potentially provide new understanding of the causes of early pregnancy failure.

Side-hustle activated. Stoked to have this popular science piece out in Aeon Magazine: aeon.co/essays/after...

Sorry to hear this Tom, hope someone can help you get some feedback. I certainly wouldn't have progressed without it.

Nice to see our latest review published in @natrevmcb.bsky.social today – a collaborative exploration of mammalian extraembryonic development with @cwhanna.bsky.social for an invaluable epigenetic focus. @srinivas-lab.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
