We are working with the UK #NationalAllotmentSociety on an above & below ground biodiversity project. Phase 1 requires data capture for the following: 1) how allotment holders are managing plots. 2) to seek participants for future work. See poster for info & plot holder survey.

Collaborators meeting today in Newcastle for our Wellcome heliosbd.com project - one year in and lots of progress made! Watch this space for new discoveries on #lithium #light #circadian and #bipolardisorder

Delighted to be at Northumbria Uni getting reading to kick off #PhysiologyInFocus2024. 3 days of stimulating science and fantastic networking awaits! 🎉

You smashed it 🙏 Great talk !

17 days to go until the Great North Run. Please visit my fundraising page justgiving.com/page/majlinda-… to support Retina UK, a wonderful charity who improves the lives of many living with retinal disorders.

Proud to share my PhD project as a #bioRxiv preprint on the effects of photoreceptor loss on retinal output in rd10 mice, with J Oesterle, Yongrong Qiu, M Harrer, T Schubert, @gonschorek_d, @teulerlab. Thanks to Institute for Ophthalmic Research Tübingen, Kerstan Foundation, Universität Tübingen! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

The final speaker for this session is Birthe Dorgau ‘Spatiotemporal single cell analyses reveal transient population of retinal progenitor cells in the ciliary margin of developing human retina’ Newcastle University Faculty of Medical Sciences

Rest in peace, my dear friend. Your passion for neuroscience, boundless enthusiasm for life, and deep appreciation for friends and colleagues will always remain with us. We will miss you profoundly—both professionally and personally.

My team is presenting our work at #ARVO25. Molly already presented her poster but Emily (4290 - A0315 Wed 10.15-12pm) and Hannah (5272 - A0035 Thur 08:00-09:45) are up next. Molly Rowland Hannah Kendall Emily Flood

We published a new review that provides a comprehensive summary of recent advancements in the transplantation of stem cell-derived photoreceptors. #retina #vision #transplantation Linda Lako Darin85 Birthe Hilgen Evelyne Sernagor and Lyle febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

What if light is not just the physiological target of photoreceptors, but also a potent instructive signal in their differentiation? In our new bioRxiv, we show that structured light enhances human photoreceptor maturation in retinal organoids. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
