And its over❤️ Thanks to everyone that made this what it was❤️ can’t be more grateful! Special thanks to @EastbioDTP and @BiovIntCIAT_eng for giving me this opportunity!




🚀 Every day is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! As a PhD researcher working with CRISPR & microalgae at @EdinburghUni, I see the impact of women pushing the boundaries of knowledge every single day. 🔭🔬Let’s keep shaping the future together🥼👩🔬

Everything is ready for the inauguration of the Cajal exhibition in Bristol. The incredible room hosting the exhibition awaits you at @BristolUni. Looking forward to know more about Cajal, father of modern neuroscience.
Just wrapped up 2 fantastic days at #cpnw2025 in Prague 🇨🇿 — brilliant talks, great science, and even better conversations. Proud to have had two excellent presentations from our team, showing exciting advances in our research. Huge thanks to the organizers for a great meeting!

Talking microalgae as fragrance factories at #PhycoFriday! Still amazed how we got these cells to make terpenes during my @KAUST_News PhD. Join Mar 28, 10AM GMT if you're into sustainable biotech! 🧪🌊 #AlgaeNerd
🍏 Any of this would be possible without the hard work of our volunteers and all our sponsors and collaborators. Thank you! 🙌🏻 @ICManchester @EmbSpainUK @FundacionAreces @FECYT_Ciencia @CGEspManchester @CEN_ITN @mncn_csic
1/9 I am excited to share our pre-print on spatial transcriptomics in wheat spikes in collaboration with @AshleighSLister. Using MERFISH, we resolved the expression of 200 genes to cellular resolution. Check out the pre-print 👉tinyurl.com/c7t3kncf

Had a successful first transformation in different varieties of rice🥰 + Transfomation can be observed by +++GUS staining, (seen as the beautiful blue colour) of the transformed embryonic calli coming from immature embryos🌱🌱🌱 So happy 🥰
