Many thanks to the UCL Translational Research Office @ucltro.bsky.social for inviting me to give a talk "High-resolution quality control in new cells and tissues using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics" at their Advanced Therapies Symposium 2026. (1/9)

this paper got us talking today! In a good way www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Proud to be second author on "Functional integration of an autologous engineered esophagus in a large-animal model", out now in Nature Biotechnology (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). In it, Paolo De Coppi and team created lab-grown oesophagi that integrated and grew inside pigs.

A study from @hkilpinen.bsky.social's lab provides the most detailed spatiotemporal profile to date of early human midbrain development, and validates stem cell models for disease research, offering a powerful new reference for neuroscience and regenerative medicine. www.helsinki.fi/en/hilife-he...

New blog post! A basic introduction to git for those that have never used it before: ghall.co.uk/blog/2026/in.... Focuses on getting started with version control and worrying about best practices later. Perfect is the enemy of good!

I've started a blog! First few posts are things where I often share with colleagues my approaches - sharing online in the hope they are useful to others! Post #1: My .bashrc, .inputrc and .vimrc configuration files: ghall.co.uk/blog/2025/co...
