Happy to share our review, with MartynaLukoseviciute Tatjana Sauka-Spengler Sauka-Spengler Lab, taking a deep dive on the transcriptional mechanisms regulating cranial neural crest development - and how their disruption might be involved in human diseases 🐣🐟🐭🐸👶🏻

Always a pleasure to hear @RuthWilliamsOx talk about beautiful data & beautiful embryos. Sauka-Spengler Lab Stowers Institute Caltech Bronner Lab

A fantastic lab retreat day for Sauka-Spengler Lab - diverse science, great people, TSS-like delays, new plans - I love my lab!

And to wrap up, our superstar Mara Artibani Ahmed Lab on her inspiring work fighting off high grade serous ovarian cancer 🎗

We also heard the brilliant work from Oana Pelea on engineering inducible single guide RNAs responsive to endogenous triggers in vivo 🔥 and our fantastic Muhammad Hanifi on his work developing a CRISPR-based system for muscular dystrophy therapy 🦠

#watchtheseones #synbio

And the retreat goes (even more) international: straight from Lithuania, our visiting PhD student Migle Kalvaityte from Vilnius University on her work on tcf21 role during 🐟🫀 regeneration

#teamfish

Team cardiac strikes again, with our Chloe Tubman talking about her work on probing WT1 function in zebrafish heart #regeneration 🫀🐟

And our guest Scottish Andrew - an expert on British cookies and biscuits - talking about his work on adoptive T cell therapeutic approaches, conducted at Prof. Ronjon Chakraverty's lab

And now o̶u̶r̶ Vanessa Chong-Morrison Wilson Lab UCL on the quest to identify functional non coding RNAs 🐟

3 years since our last retreat in Croatia, the lab is reunited in KebleCollegeOxford today for our annual lab retreat!

As our talented postdoc Evgeny Akkuratov put:
keep calm and love #neuralcrest

Good news alert - New Doctor in University of Oxford town!!!! My best lab buddy Ivan Ferreira has successfully defended his thesis today, full of #embryos , #enhancers , #species , #scRNA , #scATAC , beautiful people, tequila shots and so much more! #PhDone Sauka-Spengler Lab Well done my friend 🐢🎊

Congratulations Dr Ivan Candido Ferreira Ivan Ferreira Sauka-Spengler Lab MRC WIMM RDM Oxford ! I am so proud of you. Thank you very much to Prof Paola Oliveri Oliveri Lab CLOE: UCL Centre for Life's Origins and Evolution and Prof Peter Holland Oxford Biology for 5 long hours of examination!

#2020SDB making me feel nostalgic. #Tbt with the rockstars MartynaLukoseviciute Filipa Simões and my favourite Brazilian in the US Ida Chow - we had a blast last year meeting so many cool people, and the online conference is fantastic 🌱🐣🐙🐟🦎🐜

I can never get enough of this story 🤩 congratulations MartynaLukoseviciute, as always learning so much with you! #2020SDB @___SDB___ Sauka-Spengler Lab
