Had a nice valentines day dinner with my two supervisors A/Prof Jo James and @alysrclark at the Perth waterfront....not too shabby!


Had an awesome week in Perth learning cool techniques to cast the placenta! Thanks so much Caitlin Wyrwoll for teaching us this week. Pumped to go back to Auckland and get some pretty placental vascular casts!



MSCs from FGR placentae are less angiogenic - a cause of impaired vascularisation? Our latest HRC New Zealand funded paper is a #jameslab team effort led by the work of Anandita Umapathy with input from Cherry Anna Boss Teena Gamage. π doi.org/10.1007/s12015β¦

This perfectly describes one of many of A/Prof Jo James superpowers! Hanna Allerkamp Cherry Anna Boss and I can attest to its amazing power π #itsasuperpower #cantakewordsoutofanything #stillmakessense #how?

Join myself and Anandita Umapathy for the first session of the ANZPRA Virtual Satellite tomorrow!! Guinea pig, sheep, lizard, shark and seahorse PLACENTA what more do you need?!!?! #ANZPRA21 #teamplacenta π¦π¦ππ§¬

Have had the most amazing time at ESA-SRB-ANZBMS and #ANZPRA22 over the past week with #jameslab. Meeting new people, talking science and generally just having loads of fun. Couldn't ask for anything more π #teamplacenta


Congrats to Anandita Umapathy for taking out top place in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences UoA BIRU imaging βvisualisation and analysisβ category for βWhat becomes of the broken heartedβ. Amazing microCT imaging of the fetal heart, and bringing home theπΎ for #jameslab ππ





A bit slow on this, but now there is a media bit.. stoked that Alys & I got a Marsden grant recently to explore the biomechanical relationship between the placenta & heart in utero, & how this may impact fetal heart dysfunction in very small babies. π₯³π« auckland.ac.nz/en/news/2024/1β¦

No big deal, I got to celebrate becoming a Dr. and wear the distinguished floppy hat π I couldn't have done any of this without my amazing supervisors A/Prof Jo James Alys Clarke and Larry Chamley, my wonderful #JamesLab and wider Chamley/Cree lab families π₯°β€οΈ #teamplacenta
