Big week in the lab! Our amazing PI, Anne Goriely, gave the Spinoza Lecture at Amsterdam UMC, such an honour! She was thrilled to be invited and enjoyed sharing her work on selfish mutations and disease with a great audience. Thanks to everyone at Amsterdam UMC for the warm welcome and great chats🙏🧬

Congratulations to @agoriely.bsky.social on being awarded the Spinoza chair by @amsterdamumc.bsky.social 🎉

In June, Prof Goriely will give her Spinoza lecture on how new genetic mutations arise in the testes, their increase in frequency as men age, and how they can lead to serious genetic diseases.

"We Are All Mutants" Researchers from the Goriely Lab and Centre for Personalised Medicine reflect on their experience of exploring genomics and ethics with A Level students in Southport.

Last month, a team of researchers from @gorielylab.bsky.social led an interactive educational workshop titled “We Are All Mutants” for two biology classes at King George V College in Southport.

Proud to be supporting International Women's Day! Hear from our very own Anne Goriely and others on what it's like to be a women in science/academia. We have come a long way, but there is still progress to be made!

A fantastic trip to King George V college in Southport for #RareDiseaseDay for our "We are all Mutants" workshop! Students discussed the criteria for inclusion of diseases in the newborn screening program & assessed the ethical dilemmas with whole genome sequencing. #Genomics @cpmoxford.bsky.social

AG: Asking now what the cellular mechanisms are that are involved in selfish selection? #LorneGenome25

I have created a Bsky account just in time for #LorneGenome25 so that I can post from (and about) the meeting. I am very proud of the program that the Organising Committee has pulled together (www.lornegenome.org) and can't wait to see you all on Sunday! Looking forward to some science by the beach!

Earlier this month, as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting career development, 9 postdocs from the MRC WIMM attended this 3-day EMBO Lab Leadership course.

Feedback from this course has been very positive ✅

Thank you to the @dunnschool.bsky.social for facilitating the course 🫶
