🧬📢 Next in our speaker line-up for our #Embryo2026 meeting is @bertiegottgens.bsky.social from Cambridge University - Bertie will talk on "Charting the Transcriptional Relay from Pluripotency to Blood" More information 👇 www.molgen.mpg.de/embryo2026 Supported by the Weizmann Institute of Science

So inspiring to see the enthusiasm with which our new students embrace our community as well as stem cell research more broadly

It's that time of year! Join us in welcoming our new postgraduate students at University of Cambridge. We have a record-breaking 14 new Master's and 23 new PhD students, and we're thrilled to have them! Applications are now open for the 2026-2027 MPhil - find more details on our website!

New insights into the Unfolded Protein Response in hematopoietic stem cells in @bloodjournal.bsky.social this week + commentary from @basitsalik.bsky.social and me🩸🐁 #hemesky doi.org/10.1182/bloo...

The PERKs of ER homeostasis for hematopoietic stem cells

In this issue of Blood, Zheng et al1 show that the unfolded protein response (UPR) sensor PERK (protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase) is disp

Collaborative science is just so much fun! From our brilliant collaboration with Liz Robertson from @dunnschool.bsky.social; embryology, single cell omics and computational biology deliver new insights into the intricacies of blood and endothelial development. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It's great to see work from Dr Simon Richardson @simonrichardson.bsky.social and Prof Brian Huntly featured on @cam.ac.uk news this week. They developed a treatment to tackle a common childhood blood cancer, hoping to offer safer & more effective care. Read more: www.cam.ac.uk/stories/B-AL...

Today we welcomed Dr Sumru Bayin for our Group Leader Seminar! Dr Bayin is CSCI's Affiliate PI, and Group Leader at @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social. She was hosted by @bertiegottgens.bsky.social and presented on 'Age-dependent regenerative mechanisms in the brain.' Thanks to all who joined!

Congratulations to my friend Muzz; a brilliant scientist with unrivalled energy and determination ; and a great leader of people

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Professor Roger Pedersen, whose visionary leadership helped establish the @scicambridge.bsky.social. I will never forget how Roger personally taught my group how to dissect early post-implantation mouse embryos; watching him at the microscope was truly inspiring

CSCI is now on Bluesky! We're happy to share our first post as a link to a poem from postdoc Kirsty Ferguson about working in the Institute, started at the Annual Retreat this year. See Kirsty's collaborative poem here: tinyurl.com/cscipoem

Wonderful news; many congratulations

Wishing everyone a happy and productive 2025! I'm happy to share that I have been promoted to Senior Lecturer, thank you to my wonderful colleagues and team for your encouragement and support!

We are hiring 😀 Postdoctoral position – Stem cells, Cancer, and Aging We study cell fate decision and lineage specification in hematopoietic stem and multipotent progenitor populations to modulate lineage output for therapeutic purpose in diseases and aging contexts.

Question: As many of our community are getting ready to travel to the ASH annual meeting, who likes their terminology of Classical versus Malignant Hematology?

It’s been such exciting times in the very very new Delás lab. So glad I can share here now! We had our first journal club - yes, don’t laugh. It was exciting. Everyone (undergrads to postdoc) presented a section and discussed. Starting is hard but moments like this make all the difference!

New preprint from a super fun collaboration with Liz Robertson’s group. Nice combo of in vivo embryo, ESC differentiation and sc-omits; delivering new insights into extraembryonic blood and endothelial development . Big Thanks to Bart and Luke for pushing this. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very happy to share our latest paper:”Time and single-cell resolved model of murine bone marrow hematopoiesis”: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... With the groups of Kamil Kranc and Donal O’Carroll, we have generated a new hematopoiesis model fit for the single cell genomics era.

I am excited to share that I will be starting my lab at UCL as part of the LMCB @LMCB_UCL in 2024. We will be studying how cis-regulatory elements controls cell fate decisions during development. We are recruiting at all levels. Learn more and reach out!
