Very exciting day today! “Advances in #craniosynostosis” highlighting Prof Gillian Morriss-Kay and great colleagues from around the world. In support of Headlines Craniofacial Support

Amazing gathering on Friday, honouring Prof Gillian Morriss-Kay with updates from clinical, biology and engineering colleagues all working on #craniosynostosis. Including our own MRC National Mouse Genetics Network postdoc Wills Barrell.

Checking out MRC NMGN progress and meeting the Scientific Advisory Board today at Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell

Once more our Advance at MRC Harwell is the venue for an exciting meeting of the MRC NMGN Congenital Anomalies cluster. The Cardiovascular Geneboree was blessed by beautiful autumn sunshine and great scientific discussions. Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell

On my way to York for a 3-day meeting full of discussions, connections to the other clusters and of course fun! Can’t wait! MRC NMGN Congenital Anomalies MRC National Mouse Genetics Network

Laura Greaves kicks off the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network Science Day by introducing the Ageing Cluster to the Network.

It's our second day in York for our NMGN Meeting and today our Clusters are sharing some of their ongoing projects, starting with an introduction to the new Ageing Cluster from Laura Greaves and Walid Khaled, followed by some ECR flash talks

For day 2, one of our group leaders and MRC NMGN Congenital Anomalies Co-Lead Steve Twigg (Steve Twigg) has joined Lisa and Isaac in York’s National STEM Learning Centre to give a talk on using mouse models for rare disease 🐭

The first session of the afternoon was called "What can we currently do for you?" and included talks from Laura Greaves about the new Ageing Cluster and from Steve Twigg about the MRC NMGN Congenital Anomalies variant submission portal

Calling all rare disease researchers and clinicians who have a variant of uncertain significance... 🧬 The MRC National Mouse Genetics Network & MRC NMGN Congenital Anomalies (co-led by our PI Steve Twigg) are currently looking for VUSs to model in mice! 🐭 (1/2)

Abstract deadline for Craniofacial GRC in Barcelona is only 6 days away (Thursday March 7). There will be close to 30 short talks selected so please apply!

Congrats to our very own @Mill_lab for this epic effort! Patient variants reveal all #cilia #congenitalanomalies #raredisease #mousemodels science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Last year, our Research Committee made awards of over £50,000 towards research focusing on our Top Ten Priority Research Questions. You can read more about this vital work in the latest issue of our annual magazine, Headline News - out now! #craniosynostosis #researchmatters

And we’re off! #DMMgenetics in #Edinburgh, sponsored by us and with a programme that will explore #preclinical modelling of #humandisease

The Network and Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell taking centre stage with MRC NMGN Cancer Cluster, MRC NMGN Haem Cluster, MRC NMGN Congenital Anomalies and MRC MitoCluster representatives either chairing or speaking at today’s #DMMgenetics sessions.

How do we improve the impact of pre-clinical research. A panel discussion chaired by Pleasantine Mill @Mill_lab from the MRC NMGN Congenital Anomalies and with S.Wells of Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell as one of the panellists. Emily Sena introduced some of the issues we face such as bias, data sharing…

We're #hiring a Molecular Biologist and Senior Molecular Biologist to join our genome engineering team. Their work will span genome editing of the mouse genome and validation of engineered alleles. Apply by 19th May Please share! mrc.tal.net/vx/lang-en-GB/…

Today the craniofacial community celebrates the life of Dr Francis Smith, 1975-2023. Francis was scientist, colleague and friend, who was an important part of our community. We had wonderful session led by Benedikt Hallgrímsson and organised by Ralph Marcucio.
