Big congratulations to Dr Jahnavi Bhaskaran (she/her) for successfully defending her PhD thesis 🧬 Our first MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) PhD but we had to continue the German hat tradition 👩‍🎓 We’re all very proud of you 👏 @MaleGermCells MPI Molecular Biomedicine MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)

Several of the Vaquerizas Lab members went to the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) LMS Students PhD retreat last Friday at Royal Society of Chemistry, focused on scientific careers outside academia. It was a really interesting discussion on alternative career paths stemming from science. We had a blast!

'Tis the season for PhD applications - don't miss your chance to study with us MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)! 4 year projects spanning devbio, genome biology, molecular biology, AI & more... Start Oct 2024 Juanma Vaquerizas Dr Michelle Percharde Lymphocyte Development & Epigenetic Memory Groups Karen Sarkisyan #devtranscon lab! lms.mrc.ac.uk/study-here/phd…

Come and join us!!

Happy Holidays from the Developmental Epigenomics lab!  We definitely found out who the coffee fans were during this year’s White Elephant gift exchange (😉), and had a delicious dinner with Vicki Metzis’s lovely lab 🍽️🧬🎄❄️ Looking forward to another fantastic year of science!

New year, new job...? 🤔 We're hiring a lab manager! Come and work with us at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) with all its fantastic facilities and exciting science! 👩🏻‍🔬🧫👨🏾‍🔬 Position closes 14th Jan, see link for details lms.mrc.ac.uk/vacancies/labo…

We're still buzzing about yesterday's @nature article on how Roving Researchers are levelling up science for those with caring responsibilities. Big up to Babraham Institute who pioneered the concept nature.com/articles/d4158… and /1

We were honoured to meet HRH the Princess Royal when she came to open the new MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) building. Juanma Vaquerizas and clinical postdoc Melanie Chan spoke about some of the work the lab is doing on #3Dgenome structure #development and #epigenomics Medical Research Council Imperial Medicine

Happy #internationalwomensday ! It was a pleasure to chat with Kidney Research UK about how their support has been instrumental to my career so far #ClinicalAcademic #WomenInSTEM #IWD2024 UCL Renal Genomics Prof Danny Gale Vaquerizas Lab MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) Imperial Medicine Women In Nephrology

The DEG lab had a great time at Young Embryologist Network symposium! Jahnavi Bhaskaran (she/her) had a fabulous talk about #spermatogenesis, and Maria Rigau had a fantastic poster on #ERVs. Super proud of Irina Balaguer for chairing the committee and Christos Kalaitzis for helping organising 🧬

These remarkable results from our own Stuart Cook may hold the key to healthier, longer lives. Read our news story here lms.mrc.ac.uk/scientists-fin… and on BBC News (UK) bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Huge congratulations to Srishti Arya for defending her #MPhil MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) with no corrections! 🎉 can’t wait to see what you do next #womeninSTEM
