Congratulations Amy - great news!!!

Phew! Success this time following previous major disappointments in applications to different grant schemes. Persistence and extensive preliminary data paid off this time! Thank you ERC!

Love this!!

Feeling very privileged and grateful to receive an ERC Advanced grant "LungDeCode" for the lab - all down to the hard work of my amazing group and our fabulous behind the scenes UCam support team!

Congratulations Walid!! 😀

We don't normally dress up to come to the lab - but lots of fun to get dressed up prior to leaving the lab for a celebration!

Amazing to host Jen Sucre to give a talk @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social yesterday. Fun times and the most beautiful lung images. Plus a relaxing evening with the whole lab - thanks all! Warm June evening in Cambridge - Pimms was required!

Brilliant, brilliant news - congratulations Jenny! About time!

Science reading over the bank holiday weekend, thanks to @katjaroeper.bsky.social

The emergence of human primordial germ cell–like cells in stem cell–derived gastruloids 3D human gastruloids mimic gastrulation and postgastrulation development, forming the three germ layer derivatives and hPGCLCs.

Enjoy a facinating new publication from the Surani lab here at the Gurdon Institute 🗞️

It explores "The emergence of human primordial germ cell-like cells in 3D gastruloids".

How amazing to start as you mean to go on - winning a poster prize at your first conference! Congratulations Mien Chew @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social Thank you Biologists@100

Graphic containing the Cambridge Festival pink logo and four Fast Facts on Lyme disease. It is caused by bacteria Borrelia - the bacteria can be passed to human through the bite of an infected tick. It can cause a distinctive rash called an EM rash, but not everyone with the disease will have one. Not all ticks are the same - there are around 20 different species of tick in the UK. Bites can be missed by patients - nymph ticks (the immature stage) can be as small as a poppy seed.

If you are in or around Cambridge UK, join us at the @cambridgefestival.bsky.social family weekend on 29th and 30th March. Stop by my stand and learn some tick bite prevention techniques in #TickBitePreventionWeek. Sharing resources from @lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social @lymediseaseuk.bsky.social

It was a lovely event - thanks for organising @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social public engagement team! Great that 2 lab members could showcase their work also.

Fantastic!!!
