The LMCB aims to understand cell and tissue function through interdisciplinary, discovery-based research and technology development.
Such a pleasure to welcome Roser Vento Tormo @sangerinstitute.bsky.social to the LMCB seminar series @lmcb-ucl.bsky.social I have looked up to Roser since our university years in Valencia where she was a year ahead and I had to keep looking higher as she became a single cell superstar ⭐️
We’re opening our doors on Saturday 13 June for a Science Fair full of fun, discovery, and interactive activities for all ages. Bring the whole family and dive into a world of experiments, demonstrations, and surprising scientific wonders. Sign up here: www.ucl.ac.uk/life-science...
Interested in joining a dynamic, interdisciplinary research department as a Tenure Track Fellow? Please submit your expression of interest by April 13, 2026. Further details here: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...
Join us! We are looking for new colleagues!

UCL Faculty of Life Sciences@ucllifesciences.bsky.social · last yr.A study from @crick.ac.uk and @ucllifesciences.bsky.social reveals how timing mechanisms, not just spatial cues, shape cell identity during spinal cord development. The findings open up new avenues for both basic developmental biology and clinical applications. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
