Thrilled to share that our Group Leader Prof. Azim Surani, together with Prof. Davor Solter, has been awarded the 2026 Paul Ehrlich & Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize 🎉 for discovering genomic imprinting—a breakthrough that reshaped genetics and launched modern epigenetics.

This year Eric Miska lab celebrates 20 years of science! 🥳We marked the occasion with a wonderful gathering of past and present members, sharing memories, discoveries, and friendships. Here’s to the next 20 years of breakthroughs and collaboration🥂 Cambridge Biochemistry Gurdon Institute

An exciting breakthrough for Huntington’s patients. The AAV5-miRNA requires intraparenchymal injection under MRI which will limit broad utility, but this is an important day for patients and their families Congratulations to Uniqure scientists

Very candid responses from Azim Surani here on his initially turbulent scientific journey, & accounts of genomic imprinting and the pioneering of mammalian scRNA-seq. Great to see this put together by Ashley Moffett & Geraldine M. Jowett journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

Sad to hear this. John was a brilliant scientist and also someone who engaged with everyone personally & as equals, especially young scientists and students.

🚨Jobs alert: Want to join our growing team, working on epigenetics in stem cell models of reproduction and pluripotency? We are looking for enthusiastic new lab members as part of the Postdoc, PhD, and MSc student recruitment campaign of our centre: event.fourwaves.com/campagnerecrut…

🧬 New review on nanopore base-calling models is out! Congrats to Sonia Cruciani (former Novoa Lab PhD, now postdoc at the Deplancke Lab, EPFL) and Eva Maria Novoa 📖 Read it here:nature.com/articles/s4158… 👏👏👏

The human genome encodes 391 odorant receptor genes. Most of the proteins they encode, though, haven't been expressed in vitro. We don't know what they sense. A new study reports a better way to express odorant receptors in the lab. The authors find receptors for

The quest to make babies with lab-grown eggs and sperm. An excellent news feature by Nature: tempered optimism, with critical caveats underscored. And great to see commentary from so many names in the field! nature.com/articles/d4158…
