For International Women’s Day and beyond - our brillant Roshni de Souza successfully passed her PhD viva yesterday. Thanks to her examiners Teresa Rayon and David Carling.

Thank you to the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) for hosting us all today!

Just two weeks left to have your say to shape the law on future fertility treatments and human #embryoresearch. Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority (HFEA) is inviting public input on their recommendations to modernise the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act: hfea.gov.uk/about-us/moder…

Happy to announce the new preprint from the lab! Here we ask whether human stem cells and embryo models have the capacity to undergo dormancy under mTOR inhibition. And the answer is 🥁🥁 yes! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Human embryo implantation Read this #OpenAccess Review from Joanne Muter, Vincent Lynch, Rajiv McCoy, Jan Brosens University of Warwick, examining the foundational processes of pregnancy from an evolutionary perspective: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

Lots has been said about the potential + promise of embryo-like models, but what are the challenges and hold-ups? What's still tricky? And what do we need to overcome? 🤔 Very much enjoyed working on this perspective with Rugg-Gunn Lab and Patrick Tam! 🔎 tinyurl.com/2jyjmn7d
