Today we welcomed staff to visit the Cambridge Children’s Hospital site, where pre-construction works are underway. It was a chance to ask questions, see the plans and get excited! Hearing from our NHS teams is vital for getting the new hospital right for them and their patients.

Who among us hasn’t wondered how sugar gliders got their glides? Thankfully Ricardo Mallarino’s lab reveals all in this remarkable story!

‼️exciting PhD topic, with an excellent supervisor, in a great city ‼️

“The era of physicians working long hours in their practices and handling administrative tasks on weekends is coming to an end.“

SO EXCITED to have this new study out - led by the one and only Dr. Alex DeCasien (Thunderbolt) (👀🧵⬇️. We use >15k RNAseq samples from GTEX to prise open a hotly debated axis of sex-biased biology … the “tug of war” between strangely conserved homologous gene pairs on the X and Y chromosome …

Paper is now out in eLife - the journal 🐵🦓🧠🐈🦔🐕🦇🦭🦥 cerebellar folding amazingness! elifesciences.org/articles/85907 together with a summary article of our work elifesciences.org/articles/93122 & a press release elifesciences.org/for-the-press/… with

Beautiful beautiful work & so pleased to see this finally in the wild

Delighted to share Transcriptional Cartography in eLife - the journal (doi.org/10.7554/eLife.……)
Our goal was to make dense cortical gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas.
We took the sparse samples and interpolated them into >20k downloadable gene expression maps. 1/n

We’re proud to have contributed to the TRE-FX #DAREUKDriverProject to demonstrate robust, interoperable federated analytics across Trusted Research Environments 🔐📈🧑‍🔬

(1/11🧵) Echoes of fetal development etched into the adult brain 🧠 - Excited to share our new preprint!
“A bipolar taxonomy of adult human brain sulcal morphology related to timing of fetal sulcation and trans-sulcal gene expression gradients”
doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨

Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity.

Extremely happy to announce the British Chapter of the Network Science Society!! Official website: netsci.uk. Below a short thread:

Ever wondered how eukaryotic cells got their nucleus? Check out this new hypothesis paper in which Anja Spang and I explain our idea - building on the inside-out model of eukaryogenesis: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mm…
