The Possible vs. The Actual: can #GenerativeBiology reveal fundamental design principles of complex life? @philipcball.bsky.social closes #GenBio25 with a magnificent synthesis of the past two days of discussions, and guides us towards an agenda for the future of the field.

Excited to share our latest work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social . A global #cis-regulatory temporal program guides how spatial cues are interpreted in neural progenitors. We show how #space and #time can be integrated to generate cell type diversity in the #spinalcord. Congrats to all authors.

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...

Glad to share our review on Cell fate acquisition and reprogramming by ASCL1 Big shout out to Jethro Lundie-Brown, Francesca Puletti and Anna Philpott Collaboration between @scicambridge.bsky.com @ucl.ac.uk @ucllifesciences.bsky.com School of Pharmacy royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Cell fate acquisition and reprogramming by the proneural transcription factor ASCL1 | Open Biology

ASCL1 is a key member of the proneural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) family and it plays diverse roles in nervous system development and maintenance. ASCL1 is also one of the...

Please mark this in your calendar! 👇🏼 Wed 11th June 4pm @ucllifesciences.bsky.social School of Pharmacy, we host R Jean Banister Prize Lecture @physoc.bsky.social from Dr Sylvia Schroeder @sylviaschroeder.bsky.social Uni of Sussex

Please join us for the next Pharmacology seminar series @ucl.ac.uk @ucllifesciences.bsky.social School of Pharmacy Dr Irving Aye will talk on Metabolic control of epigenetics in placenta on 21st of May! Coming very soon!!

And to round off the day, the perfect conclusion to our symposium, a broad exploration and thorough discourse of the history and state of the art in molecular developmental haematology from Prof. @BertieGottgens of Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. #science #research

Invited speaker Prof. Selina Wray leading Session 2: Stem cell models of health and disease. An exciting journey through her use of, and novel insights from, patient-derived iPSC models of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Symposium kicked off with an energising Flagship Lecture from @inesequeira.bsky.social , presenting work decoding epithelial tissue regeneration and cell type heterogeneity using multi-omic and cellular dynamics data.

Did I say that the Pharmacology seminar series @ucl.ac.uk @ucllifesciences.bsky.social School of Pharmacy is in full swing? Yes. After the success of @MootazSalman, we will have @MikkoAiravaara 16thApril and @IrvingAye 21stMay (none on bsky yet 😊)

The Pharmacology seminar series @ucl.ac.uk @ucllifesciences.bsky.social School of Pharmacy is in full swing! Thank you @MootazSalman @ox.ac.uk for a fantastic seminar! Contagious enthusiasm and great science! Thank you for coming! And thanks to Prof. Afia Ali for bringing him in!
