We have an exciting 3 year, G6/G7 spatial omics technologist post in @molecularanalysis.bsky.social - www.jobs.gla.ac.uk/job/spatial-... - an exciting new collaboration with the Jamieson Lab in @uofgcancersciences.bsky.social

Post closes on 17th August 2025

Are you doing a PhD or research Masters in Virology? Want to be part of a community of like-minded researchers from across the UK and Ireland?

We're excited to announce the first annual conference run by and for postgraduate research students in Virology. Please sign up, and please spread the word!

Exciting news! With @uofgmvls.bsky.social we've installed a PacBio Vega sequencer in @molecularanalysis.bsky.social!
Reads up to 25kb - fab for: genomics, metagenomics, single-cell splicing
Test runs are underway with colleagues in SMB & @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk Get in touch: www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvl...

Research Computing (RCaaS) www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/rc... at @uofglasgow.bsky.social is hiring! www.gla.ac.uk/explore/jobs... - some of them working with @uofgmvls.bsky.social / @mvls-srf.bsky.social.

Very pleased to have been involved with this work, and I think it highlights the power of SAXS when combined with Alphafold predictions. @mvls-srf.bsky.social

Image of a blue arrow pointing left to right, on top of the arrow, starting at the left are some microscope slides of prepared histology samples, the middle image is the prepared sample when viewed under a microscope and on the right is the bioinformatics data, this is designed to show the process of sample preparation through to analysis for Spatial Transcriptomics.

We used the 10x CytAssist Spatial Transcriptomics Platform to map whole transcriptomes in mouse brain sections at 2μm resolution, with @mariekedoesscience.bsky.social Combining expertise in Cellular & Molecular Analysis teams! Interested? 👉 www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvls/shared-research-facilities/

Interested in performing spatial transcriptomics for your research?

Might we introduce you to the Visium CytAssist instrument from @10xgenomics.bsky.social that produces ✨ stunning data ✨?

We're excited to announce that we now offer this at @mvls-srf.bsky.social! Reach out to us to find out more

Wonderful visit to the Living Lab and great to see the 7T MRI and work with MR Coil Tech being discussed! If you want to know more about Whole Body Imaging then have a look at our webpages : www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvl...

This is wonderful news: Launch of new Total-Body PET scanner extends UK’s world-class imaging platform to Scotland www.gla.ac.uk/news/headlin... for more information about all the Whole Body Imaging platforms or to get in touch visit the website: www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvl... @uofgmvls.bsky.social

This is sure to be a brilliant day, we are looking forward to getting involved!

We run an intensive but self-led course to provide training in various aspects of bioinformatics, with online drop-in sessions throughout the year to support your learning! For more info or to request access: www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvl...

Great to be at the @uofgmvls.bsky.social Clinical Research Open Day 2025! Looking forward to interacting with colleagues at different levels of their career all focussed on clinical research @uofgcancersciences.bsky.social @uofgscmh.bsky.social @uofgsii.bsky.social

‼️There are only very few places left for the Edinburgh & Glasgow CV & Careers Workshops! Make sure you register in time using the link below 👇

Pleased to support the #ScotTechConf 25 at @uofglasgow.bsky.social yesterday. Great to see technical careers in HE in the spotlight! As a team led by technical specialists, we value this recognition! Thanks to the organisers! #TechniciansMakeItHappen @uofgmvls.bsky.social @tech-commit.bsky.social

Cross-institution mentoring scheme applications close this Friday!

Learn from an experienced technical professional, who understands your role and can help you achieve your career goals. Mentors are matched across UK-wide universities and research institutions to offer specialist mentoring support.

It has been great hearing from all the Universities about their @tech-commit.bsky.social success stories and different ways the teams are increasing the visibility of technicians and working towards career development for technicians by technicians #ScotTechConf

We're delighted to be supporting the Scottish Technical Conference! We're excited to shine a light on the people that make research #TechnciansMakeItHappen @tech-commit.bsky.social
