PDRA position still open in my lab for anyone who wants to solve some outstanding questions in limb development. We have a variety of models and approaches (everything from stem cells to chicks and catsharks). Please share!

Hi bsky!

How do cells coordinate fate with migration during development? 🐣 Turns out EMT doesn't just drive cell behaviour changes... it actively primes BMP signalling competence, creating a reciprocal coupling that drives collective invasion!

Back from SDB in Puerto Rico! A lovely week spent with new and old friends, daily pool breaks and a multitude of pina coladas 🍹
