This summer, we have funded two summer studentship positions for undergraduates and two paid Masters by Research studentships to look at cross-cluster data pipelines and analyse home cage monitoring datasets, all in partnership with GenerationResearch nmgn.mrc.ukri.org/news/generatio…

Robert Pitceathly will be speaking at #ELRIGDD24 tomorrow as lead of the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network Industry & Translation working group - looking forward to making some new connections!

And now Robert Pitceathly of the MRC MitoCluster reporting to #ELRIGDD24 about the network and what we can do to advance #therapeutics for #geneticdiseases making use of our #mousemodels at Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell


We've made a new video showing how we work with mice at the Mary Lyon Centre for #AnimalsInResearch week (Understanding Animal Research), highlighting our commitment to the 3Rs and the improvement or development of sophisticated tests to better understand disease: youtube.com/watch?v=izV5nV…



“At times, I found it a bit overwhelming due to the sheer volume of questions from the students – but, that’s what makes it exciting!" We recently started working with I'm a Scientist Team with 10 Network colleagues answering students' questions. Read more: nmgn.mrc.ukri.org/news/im-a-scie…

First Native Scientists workshop in Oxford to talk about how our mice help us understand disease… in Italian!Primary school children ask the hardest questions!😊



We are proud media partners (with Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell) for Cambridge Rare Disease Network (CamRARE) #RAREfest24 on 23 Nov, making #RareDiseases an everyday conversation. Get FREE tickets at bit.ly/RAREfest24_Home for this festival for curious minds celebrating science, technology, community, and the arts.


Planned workshops include one led by our Director, Sara Wells, and one led by the MRC MitoCluster:


Our MRC NMGN Congenital Anomalies Cluster co-lead Prof Karen J Liu talking about her career path ‘I don't think I would’ve been better off being a biologist to begin with’ - the Node thenode.biologists.com/i-dont-think-i…

A key part of our mission is to train #ECRs to carry out their in vivo work in the most scientifically rigorous way. With that in mind, we recently held a week-long bootcamp at Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell focused on the use of mouse models to study human disease: nmgn.mrc.ukri.org/news/our-missi…
