🧪Our paper is in the latest issue of Cell Stem Cell! I feel honored that one of the co-discoverers of widespread clonal hematopoiesis in healthy, aged individuals--Dr. Benjamin Ebert--along with Dr. Joanne Hsu, wrote a fantastic Preview article on our paper. You can check it out here:

🧐 What if some clonal hematopoiesis develops not because of positively selected cells taking over, but because of progressive loss of healthy cells until only a few are left to produce blood? Check out our new paper in Cell Stem Cell! 🧵👇

I really enjoyed visiting IMSUT & was grateful for the opportunity to share our latest work on the importance of protection against endogenous formaldehyde in blood. 🧬 I was impressed not only by the world-class tech in the labs, but also the keen intellectual engagement of the audience! ありがとうございます！

Honoured (& still a bit in disbelief) to have received the 2025 Makio Ogawa Award & a travel award from @isehsociety.bsky.social! Hugely grateful to have gotten the opportunity to attend ISEH in 🇯🇵. Many thanks to ISEH for the support & a fantastic, invigorating meeting! ✨ @imm.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk

Congratulations to Dr. Lauren Murphy @l-cmurphy.bsky.social who just won an award for her short talk at the #ISEH2025 New Investigators Pre-Meeting Workshop! Way to represent Oxford! 🙌🏼 @imm.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk

I'll be speaking about our newly recognized mechanism for how clonal hematopoiesis can develop this Saturday, 27 September, at #ISEH2025 -- hope to see you there! Learn more and review the meeting program: iseh.org/Annual-Meeti...

NEW: Researchers at the MRC WIMM and @dkfz.bsky.social have developed a new method to analyse how our tissues evolve as we age, called SCIFER 🧬 🧪 Read more 👇 @rdm.ox.ac.uk | @medsci.ox.ac.uk | @ox.ac.uk

Congratulations to our lab’s superstar, @ewagogola.bsky.social, on winning the Sir Andrew McMichael Medal for Excellent Supervision & Mentorship at WIMM Day 2025! Very well-deserved!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ www.imm.ox.ac.uk/news/wimm-da... @imm.ox.ac.uk @rdm.ox.ac.uk @brasenoseoxford.bsky.social

Congratulations to our DPhil student, @xinranhuang.bsky.social, on being awarded a poster prize today at the EMBO | EMBL The Ageing Genome symposium in Heidelberg! 🎉 We're so proud of you--well done!!! #EESAgeing #PatelLab @imm.ox.ac.uk @kebleoxford.bsky.social

Fantastic talk to kick off the day at OxCODE Symposium by @asgerjakobsen.bsky.social on pre-leukaemic clonal selection! @imm.ox.ac.uk

Somehow, this marks our 10th Thanksgiving in the UK. 😳 Time has evaporated! This year, I am thankful for health, dual citizenship 🇬🇧🇺🇸, and a fantastic lab—I couldn’t ask for better colleagues. I hope they enjoy their pumpkin pie tomorrow!
