PhD project available through @MIBTP (BBSRC-funded) investigating how blood flow instructs the embryo to make blood stem cells. A wet lab+computational project for anyone interested in stem cells, development and systems biology. Please share! #PhD #StemCells #Zebrafish #SystemsBiology #BBSRC

This looks like a wonderful opportunity for #DiseaseModels researchers ⬇️

1. CRISPR came from basic research on bacteria. 2. Optogenetics started with a discovery in algae. 3. The GFP protein comes from jellyfish. The biggest breakthroughs all trace to scientists following their curiosity, and this is one huge reason why we must keep funding basic research!

October is #LiverCancerAwarenessMonth 💚 Did you know Liver Cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally? To improve patient outcomes, researchers are utilizing #zebrafish 👩‍🔬🐟 This had led to improvements in our understanding of how it develops & ways to treat it! #KnowYourZDM

JOB ALERT🚨 Postdoc position available in the Nelson Lab at @warwickuni.bsky.social 🐟 The lab uses human organoids, #zebrafish, single-cell multiomics & in vivo reporter assays to functionally dissect enhancers governing hindbrain & pancreas development throughout evolution. Deadline 8th Nov (🔗 in 🧵)

We are excited to offer a VIRTUAL option for #ZDM19 once again! Virtual Registration will give you access to all live ZDM19 talks as well as the recordings 🐟 #zebrafish Renew your membership and register today: www.zdmsociety.org/zdm19-regist... View the agenda: www.zdmsociety.org/monday-septe...

New preprint from the lab is out! Dll4 and Jag1a aren't opposing Notch signals in blood stem cell formation — they are required sequentially to push hemogenic endothelium fate and to make HSPCs . Great collab with @gunawanlab.bsky.social @dorotheeb.bsky.social 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

#ZDM19 is coming up soon! We have a great list of speakers, lots of early career researcher events, and an amazing location in the heart of Oxford. Registration is open now but early bird pricing will end soon - so please register as soon as possible! More details: www.zdmsociety.org/zdm19-regist...
