🌟Congratulations to Azim Surani @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social @cam.ac.uk for receiving the 2025 Kyoto Prize - Basic Sciences. Azim's research fundamentally advanced our understanding of developmental biology🔬🧬 www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/kyoto-prize-... #KyotoPrize #AzimSurani #DevelopmentalBiology

Phew! Success this time following previous major disappointments in applications to different grant schemes. Persistence and extensive preliminary data paid off this time! Thank you ERC!

Feeling very privileged and grateful to receive an ERC Advanced grant "LungDeCode" for the lab - all down to the hard work of my amazing group and our fabulous behind the scenes UCam support team!

Congratulations Walid!! 😀

The Gurdon Institute Public Engagement team, Lowe Syndrome Association patient charity and Gallop laboratory have written an article about their co-production collaboration for the 2024 International Lowe Syndrome Symposium www.frontiersin.org/journals/cel...

We don't normally dress up to come to the lab - but lots of fun to get dressed up prior to leaving the lab for a celebration!

Amazing to host Jen Sucre to give a talk @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social yesterday. Fun times and the most beautiful lung images. Plus a relaxing evening with the whole lab - thanks all! Warm June evening in Cambridge - Pimms was required!

Science reading over the bank holiday weekend, thanks to @katjaroeper.bsky.social Wonderful book from Katalin Kariko engaging read and truly awe-inspiring. Now sharing book details with everyone I know 📙😀📕

Will be a great meeting @kottond.bsky.social @jennydickens41.bsky.social and lots more...

Delighted to hear that the new editor of Development will be Alex - congratulations Alex!!!

Beautiful day in Cambridge for the Spring Equinox.

📣 We are advertising for a postdoc to join our team at the University of Edinburgh! Our lab studies gene regulatory mechanisms in development, and how genetic changes may impact these processes to alter development and shape human craniofacial form and function 🧬🧪

Please do take a moment to read this joint editorial from @biologists.bsky.social's Editors-in-Chief. I'm feeling a bit lost in knowing how to support my friends and colleagues in the US right now. I wish there were more we could do than 'just' express our concern. If there is, please get in touch!

My lab decided to celebrate international women's day this year - though women in STEM is clearly every day 😀

Spring has reached Cambridge 😎 First day this year we have been able to eat lunch in the garden.

I enjoyed reading this very cool preprint over the weekend - congratulations @graycamplab.bsky.social and Laurian Cabon, should be a very powerful tool for the field 😍 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.

Last chance to enter our science writing competition and win a cash prize and have your work published in our magazine!
