We've funded Dr @TommyKHMau's #research into how lipid (fatty) droplets within an #embryo help it develop as it implants into the lining of womb at the start of #pregnancy, published in Nature Portfolio: nature.com/articles/s4146… Tommy has kindly summed up findings in this video:

I’m very happy to advertise a 3-year post-doctoral position in the lab to work on the mechanisms of cell competition and the regulation of mouse and human pluripotent stem cell fitness imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti… Do apply or contact me if you need further information.

New paper from Manzanares lab lab @CBMSO_CSIC_UAM out today in Cell Reports! Together with Ana Losada’s lab Losada Lab CNIO Stop Cancer and led by María José Andreu, we studied CTCF in early mouse development (cell.com/cell-reports/f…) 1/n

It's 20 years since the official opening of the Institute of Reproductive and Developmental Biology; a lab building we funded for @ImperialCollege to advance the understanding of problems with #pregnancy and #fertility. Summaries of key achievements here: genesisresearchtrust.com/research/?utm_…

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 (MRC 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…

Do not miss the European Developmental Biology Congress; it only happens every 4 years. This time, with an innovative multi-site organization by BSDB

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…

I am happy to advertise a post-doc position available in the lab to study the impact of aneuploidy on early human development, using pluripotent stem cell models to address its effect on survival and differentiation. In collaboration with Ivana Barbaric imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti…

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
