NEWS: An international team of researchers led by @rinaldi_ca have published in @ScienceAdvances a safe and effective gene therapy strategy for Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy, a rare disease with a high unmet clinical need. advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/34/e… paediatrics.ox.ac.uk/news/promising…
Here’s our latest work on a new gene therapy for Spinal and Bulbar muscular atrophy. Credits to @rinaldi_ca and all our collaborators.
It’s finally out! Credits to @CatherynLim88 most of all, as well as many other fantastic collaborators at @UniofOxford and @NIH, funders @MDAorg, @wellcometrust, and the @kennedysdisease community. Here is what we found (1/3): advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/34/e…
Well done guys! @rinaldi_ca
Curious to know how the molecular mechanisms of a #RareDisease disease such as #SBMA can help answer more general questions about how the motor unit works in humans? Check our lastest work hot off the press: link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🎉🎉🎉 More👇🏼
Well done! @LanaCLy @manan_s9 It was worth waking up at 3am for such great talks. It’s nice to see how much the projects have progressed and all the familiar slides and figures. Great gelshifts Lana! And Manan, I look forward to read your paper, the data looks amazing



A standing ovation today on centre court @Wimbledon for the #COVID19Vaccine. Applause for science, scientists and the public who take part in research @NIHRresearch @UniofOxford
It was great to see everyone - Crossleys current members and alumni. Can’t believe it has been three and a half years.
Feeling like the year is 2016 and I'm just starting my Honours year in the @CrossleyLab @UNSWBABS😊 Now I'm 3 weeks out from submitting my PhD thesis😅 How time flies! So nice catching up with you all☺️ #phdchat
Friday is lab blog day @UNSW - this week on What's Lab Life Like - I make the urgent case for a national new early/mid career academic appointments scheme as part of any stimulus package crossleylab.wordpress.com/2020/07/03/sti… via @wordpressdotcom
Congratulations! @LuYang_bio Great work!
Our new paper is out in @NatureComms! Here we show that GATA-1 binding can be blocked by target site methylation & that mutation of a single base that prevents methylation at a GATA-1 site in the c-Kit gene alters haematopoiesis in mice. nature.com/articles/s4146… @UNSWScience
Day 2 of #ottawanmd meeting. Matthew Wood kicks off with a lecture on oligonucleotide therapies for NMDs. Feels like I’m still at #otsmunich 🤣 @OTSociety
Tom Rando presenting on muscle stem cell studies and the generation of artificial muscle fibers #Ottawanmd

Oh no!
This is the moment the iconic spire of the Notre-Dame cathedral collapsed, as a fire engulfed the 12th century building in Paris. 🔴 Here's everything we know about the #NotreDame fire: po.st/MOim32
