Wonderful experience at Young Embryologist Network 2023! Big congratulations to the organising committee. Looking forward to next year.

PhD student Clara Munger presenting about her work at the @CTR_Cambridge half day seminar. #femalescientist #embryology


Human PGCs and amnion arise from transcriptionally similar TFAP2A-positive progenitors at the posterior end of the embryo. And - TFAP2A is crucial for initiating PGC fate! life-science-alliance.org/content/6/8/e2… Congratulations to all authors, great collaboration with the Surani lab!

Our open-access protocol "Generation of liver mesenchyme and ductal cell #organoid co-culture using cell self-aggregation and droplet #microfluidics" is now available STAR Protocols. Collaboration between Huch Lab and Hollfelder Lab🥳 Cell Press doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro…

📢New Meeting Report on the Node - 2023 Young Embryologist Network Conference It's Young Embryologist Network's 15th birthday! Makis Ampartzidis Courtney Lancaster Danielle Liptrot & Rosie Marshall wrote about the #YEN2023 Conference showcasing the work of #ECRs: 📖thenode.biologists.com/meeting-report…


Thrilled to see this project out and very honoured to have been involved! 🥳 Take a look at how microfluidics enabled Timo Kohler, Anna Lena Ellermann and Joachim De Jonghe to uncover new regulators of naïve pluripotency!

Delighted to share my first Co-first-authorship paper published in Nature Communications! It’s the result of amazing teamwork especially with Timo Kohler and Joachim De Jonghe over the past years. Thank you both for this great collaboration and everyone else involved!




The 2024 GRS Signaling by Adhesion Receptors (July 13 - 19) is now open for applicants!! I am chairing this meeting together with Fernando Valencia in Manchester, NH. A GRC will follow this meeting! Apply and submit your abstract! grc.org/signaling-by-a… Please retweet! 🙏


Nearly 200 visitors came to our Cambridge Festival events. We watched High Life and The Pod Generation and talked stem cell based embryo models with Babraham Institute and PDN Cambridge thank you to everyone who came and to all who contributed to make these happen! #ReproductiveFutures


Wonderful breakfast chat on scientific life in general with Frances Arnold, moderated by our researchers Lise Boursinhac, Josephin Holstein and Clara Munger. No doubt she has energy enough for a plenary talk this afternoon! engbio.cam.ac.uk/events/innovat…


Marmoset Trophoblast Stem Cells are here! Delighted with our article out in Cell Stem Cell today! Please find a short video about our study and its people below! Congratulations to the fabulous first authors Dylan Siriwardena and Clara Munger authors.elsevier.com/a/1jpyi6tu0Cpv…

I am very excited to share our latest work published in Cell Stem Cell! We propose the marmoset as a non-human primate model of shallow implantation and have derived trophoblast stem cells that match peri- and postimplantation trophoblast. doi.org/10.1016/j.stem… [1/2]

Very excited to share our latest work on trophoblast specification in the marmoset, a superficially implanting species. Thank you to Dylan Siriwardena for expanding my horizons beyond the amnion.

Our study on marmoset and human trophoblast stem cells is now featured in the latest issue of Cell Stem Cell. Dive in for "common and uncommon findings" with a preview from Hiroaki Okae - much appreciated! cell.com/cell-stem-cell… youtube.com/watch?v=SqMSHn…

Our spotlight "Advancing stem cell technologies for conservation of wildlife biodiversity" now online in Development's special issue on Uncovering Developmental Diversity. It has been an incredible privilege working with this fantastic group of authors! doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…
