New paper out = time to actually introduce myself! I'm Ben, a PDRA in the Egg Lab 🥚 with @suzannemadgwick.bsky.social @ Newcastle University. I study how oocytes organise chromsomes, developing some cool new tools along the way 🔬 👨‍🔬 Let's talk #fertility, #imaging, and all things science.

Separase- the chromosome separation enzyme is differently regulated in meiosis. Study by Christopher Thomas @ovarylab.bsky.social @suzannemadgwick.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social 🆕 @reviewcommons.org #preprintpeerreview @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ➡️ doi.org/10.1101/2025...

A fantastic primer by Martin Anger highlighting our work on separase control in oocytes! 🥚✂️ @suzannemadgwick.bsky.social @wetherall.bsky.social @plosbiology.org
