Amazing opportunity to join Jason’s team
Now hiring postdocs and staff scientists! Come join our dynamic group focused on the development of stem cell models for studies of neurodegeneration, neuron/glia interactions, and neuroinflammation. Meyerstemcelllab.com
Hi again folks, our team @UCLeye in London keeps growing. If you're at the postdoc stage and are interested in the mechanisms that control eye development, growth and disease, apply in this link...

Great lab and colleagues
The Rihel lab is hiring a technician to assist with zebrafish work. If you are skilled at PCR-based genotyping methods and zebrafish biology, this could be a role for you!

Got to love a good screen!
Our new preprint is Biorxiv! CRISPR-RfxCas13d screening uncovers Bckdk as a post-translational regulator of the maternal-to-zygotic transition in teleosts @CABD_UPO_CSIC. Another fantastic collaboration with @BazziniLab @ScienceStowers. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… A thread(1/10):

At #WeinsteinCVD2024 @WeinsteinConf this week? Senior Editor @amjeve is around - have a chat to him about Development, @the_Node & @Co_Biologists!
We've also put together a collection of recent articles on cardiovascular development:

IMF Report on the significant economic return of investment in basic research.
"We find that basic scientific research affects more sectors, in more countries and for a longer time than applied research (commercially oriented R&D by firms)"

Check out our recently published protocol for primary culture of zebrafish neurons!👇
Our protocol for performing primary culture of zebrafish neurons has been published.
It includes details on using transwell inserts, allowing for the isolation of neurites 😃 @CorinneHouart @HouartLab

We know there are differences between the left and right sides of the brain, known as brain asymmetry.
But it’s not yet clear how or why this comes about.
@stevewilsonfish and @ibianco3 from @ucl aim to find answers, with support from our Discovery Research Awards ⤵️

Good things come to those who wait they say....and boy did we wait (and do a couple of more experiments). But here it is in all it's beauty the Rocha et al.! It seems that the end does justify the means.

Please RT!
Welcome to my team @UCLeye Kia and Robin, who will work on their MSc projects @ucl studying mutations we find in patients with eye malformations by modelling them in #zebrafish. Thanks @Gavin_Arno for advice on genetics and @The_MRC and @EyeCharity for support. #genetics
