Thrilled to see the first paper I've ever co-authored out now in @JMG_BMJ! It's the first sliver of my DPhil research to make it into the literature, with hopefully more to follow soon... Exciting times!
🧬🚨 New paper alert! 🚨🧬
Published in @JMG_BMJ, collaborative work involving @IsaacSWalton, Chingyiu Pang, and Andrew Wilkie from the @MRC_WIMM reports the first two #craniosynostosis patients with homozygous variants in #SMAD6.

Somerville College is now looking for its next Principal, as Baroness Jan Royall will be stepping down in 2025. Could you be the right person to guide our college through a period of exciting change and opportunity? buff.ly/3Yt8xR3

In the 2nd scientific session of the day, chaired by @jojdavies, three PhD students are battling it out to win the Ita Askonas Medal and a £500 prize! 🏅💸
Good luck to all three finalists, @lizthescientis1 (Rehwinkel Group), @IsaacSWalton (@Wilkie_Lab) and @josephhamley98 (@jdavieslab) 🍀

Congratulations to our DPhil student @IsaacSWalton!
Isaac won the Judge’s prize at @Oxford_MRC_DTP for speedily presenting his research about modelling ZIC1 craniosynostosis in mice - in under 3 minutes ⏱️‼️
Congratulations to our students @grace_meaker and @IsaacSWalton, who both won awards at the Oxford MRC Doctoral Training Partnership Symposium (@Oxford_MRC_DTP) earlier today.
Grace won the first prize in the student short talks, with her piece on 'The Novel Role of Runx Factors: Regulating Haematopoietic Stem Cell Expansion'.
Isaac won the Judge’s Award in the 3-Minute Research Competition.
Well done both!
Who says messing around on iMovie as a kid doesn’t come in handy later in life..!
Honoured to have gotten the @Oxford_MRC_DTP Judge’s prize for my 3-minute research competition video summarising our Lab’s efforts to model ZIC1-associated craniosynostosis in mice 🐭🧬

Congratulations to our DPhil student @IsaacSWalton who has been shortlisted for the Ita Askonas medal!
Isaac’s presentation was on the mouse modelling of ZIC1-associated craniosynostosis, and can be heard again at WIMM day later in the year 🧬🐭
It was wonderful to see the Seminar Room so busy yesterday for our Student Presentation Day!
Congratulations to everyone who presented, especially @lizthescientis1 (Rehwinkel Group), @IsaacSWalton (@Wilkie_Lab) and @josephhamley98 (@jdavieslab) who have been shortlisted for the Ita Askonas Medal 🎉

4 years into my DPhil… and I finally had to make my first ever poster! – at Oxford, England
Our group are away from the hospital today for the annual @RDMOxford day!
If you’re attending be sure to stop by our DPhil student @IsaacSWalton’s poster on mouse modelling of ZIC1-associated craniosynostosis 🐭🧬

At the Wilkie Lab in Oxford, every day is #RareDiseaseDay as we continue to research the genetics of #Craniosynostosis, a rare skull condition
From FGFR2 to PRRX1 twenty-eight years later, the hunt for causative genes of Craniosynostosis in our group never stops!
