Pleased to share the first pre-print of my postdoc work with Ben Steventon in the Steventon Lab describing how Mannose is crucial for mesoderm specification and subsequent morphogenesis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join us online next Monday on the 19th of June (2:30pm UK time) to hear from Jesse Veenvliet (MPI-CBG, Dresden, Germany) jesse veenvliet @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social on exciting new work in stembryogenesis! More details on our website: ucammorphogenesisseries.com/program/

V happy to announce I am setting up my lab GeneticsCambridge Cambridge University supported by a Wellcome CDA. Embryo patterning and evolution via microscopy, mutants + modelling; mainly Drosophila (for now). RA + PDRA job ads coming soon–please get in touch informally if interested!

We are advertising two 3-year posts in my group, a research assistant and a postdoc, to work on a Yorkshire Cancer Research -funded project at the interface of stem cell biology and cancer modelling. For more details see: jobs.ac.uk/job/DHT349/res… and jobs.ac.uk/job/DHT630/res…. Please RT!

Our paper on how mechanics and patterning combine at metaphase to orient planar epithelial divisions in vivo just out in Development, with Elena Scarpa, Leila Muresan, Sanson Lab, PDN Cambridge. Thread digest follows… 1/5 doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…


Very excited and proud to share our latest paper on the mechanics of cell division orientation. It’s not all about interphase cell shape after all Guy Blanchard Sanson Lab PDN Cambridge
