Today's #FluorescenceFriday features a stunning Swiss Roll of human colon labelled for innervation markers🎨. This was captured at incredible speed using our @VisiTech_UK iSIM microscope to image 1456 individual tiles, each with 21 Z-Steps! 🔬 Work from Matthew Rowe 🌟

Congratulations to Ashleigh Gould reaching the faculty 3MT finals! She presented a fantastic short and snappy talk about gut immune cells in Hirschprung Disease! 👩🏼‍🔬

Today we feature the Boogeyman who was found hiding in mucus (yellow) in the human colon 🎨🔬 #FluorescenceFriday. Found by Matthew Rowe 🌟

Next up for the inaugural Leica Microsystems webinar series we have Ashleigh Gould representing the Integrated Neurogenic Mechanisms Laboratory here Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences talking about hyperspecteal imaging and its use for investigating Hirschsprung disease

Congratulations to Narges Mahdavian 🧪🔬💊 for receiving a Cornerstone Award and Grant for her PhD research! 🔬Fantastic work! 🌟

A huge congratulations to Dr Nathan Nguyen who graduated yesterday! Well done Nathan!

Great to see an INM presence at the VIIN Young Investigator Symposium today! Look out for their talks and posters throughout the day! Ashleigh Gould Nathan Nguyen Matthew Rowe

A fantastic presentation from Nathan Nguyen sharing his work using multi-omic approaches to investigate TRPV4! VIIN

Had a great time presenting my poster at VIIN Young Investigator Symposium yesterday. 🔬🎨Thanks to everyone who stopped by to have a chat!

So excited that this beast is out. We went to a lot of trouble to understand what the TRPV4 ion channel is doing in the colon. This paper has beautiful immuno, calcium imagining, functional studies, high end analytical tools. It includes analysis of tissue from multiple species.

Congratulations Pradeep R ! 🎉 An amazing and extensive body of work from you and the team. Fantastic to see it finally published! 🔬

Such an important day for raising awareness of #RareDisease like EB! In Integrated Neurogenic Mechanisms Laboratory Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences we are proud to work with DEBRA Australia EB Research Partnership and Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) to research the underlying mechanisms of EB pain, in the hope of developing new, safe analgesics for EB kids

Fantastic to see Dan Poole presenting work about defining interaction of the Hirschsprung Disease colon at the ENS_Development meeting!

Congratulations to Narges Mahdavian 🧪🔬💊 for receiving an ENS_Development Young Investigator Award! 🌟

Gut Analysis Toolbox (GAT) is out on J Cell Science. A special moment as its my first senior author paper. Thanks to all the coauthors! especially Dan Poole Dr Simona Carbone A/Prof Nik Veldhuis for their support & encouragement.

So great to see this out! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Congratulations Pradeep R. This was a huge effort (with many international collaborators) to develop an image analysis toolbox that I’m certain will support many researchers in the neuro-gastro community ANGMA Integrated Neurogenic Mechanisms Laboratory Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Having a blast at Little Brain Big Brain, I have already learnt so much and am excited to keep the discussions going over the next few days. Thanks for having me Little Brain Big Brain and to the wonderful organisers (Kristen, Ada, Alain, Khalil, Alyce) for such a great meeting so far.

A final #FluorescenceFriday for the year! Fried egg or cell? 🤔🍳

Today I had the opportunity to present my PhD work at the #APMC13 conference in Brisbane, where I talked about my approach to automate image analysis of goblet cells. 🔬🎨 Looking forward to the rest of the conference and thanks to all the organisers!
