Celebrating the 1st anniversary of @Hallou_Lab @KirOxford @UniofOxford 🥳🍾!! So grateful to be working with these amazing young scientists ! Watch this space in the next few weeks for: - Exciting new science ⚙️🧬💻🔬 - An official lab picture (minus🍕🍻😆) - Job openings 😉!

'Mapping Childhood Arthritis' by Dr Chrissy Bolton et al is on the front cover of Science Translational Medicine! 🎉 The cover shows a spatial transcriptomic map of cells in synovial tissue from a patient with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, color-coded by cell type.
A new classification system may predict outcomes in patients infected with severe mpox, scientists uncover the secret to rapid and scarless wound healing in the mouth, and more in the new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine. scim.ag/3I9H9Bg
In developing embryos, cells move a lot! Plenty of that movement is random. Is random cell mixing a feature or bug for tissue patterning? Turns out it’s both! Excited to share the 1st preprint from my postdoc w/ @SeanMegason @SeanEMcGeary @KleinLabHMS 1/20 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
An exciting opportunity to start an independent position as a research fellow in protozoan parasitology at Christ's College, Cambridge and the Department of Pathology: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/52020/
A slight change of pace from maternity leave to spend a fantastic few days with @francobritish for this years #francobritishyoungleaders seminar. Particularly grateful for all speakers and atendees acommodating the youngest member to make it possible for me to attend avec bébé.
Hearty congratulations to my talented students Jen Jiang and Flore Hendrickx for successfully defending their Master's Theses on Friday 🎉🎓🤩👏!!! #ProudSupervisor @KirOxford @BiochemOxford

🚨 We’re hiring @sangerinstitute! Join us as a Postdoc or ML Scientist to build generative & foundation models for biology. 🧬 Spatial + single-cell omics 🧠 Diffusion, transformers, multimodal data 💊 Drug discovery via Open Targets Apply: Postdocs in computational biology…
Looking forward to host Prof Joe Chan @ChiiJChan1 @MBIsg talk on the 'Mechano-hydraulic control of mammalian folliculogenesis'! Please join us @KirOxford on wednesday😀👇!
On Wednesday 18 June, Prof Chii Jou (Joe) Chan will join us to present 'Mechano-hydraulic control of mammalian folliculogenesis'. Our External Seminars are open to any member of the University of Oxford. Don't miss it! talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/5a822…
New paper alert! We report in @Cell_Metabolism how serine regulates skin stem cell fate. Congratulations to everyone involved! cell.com/cell-metabolis…
This evening @AmbDuchene and our chair in the UK @LordRickettsP welcomed our new Young and Local Leaders based in the UK, kindly supported by Hakluyt
Many congratulations to the 2025 cohort of the Franco-British Young Leaders @francobritish 🇫🇷🇬🇧👏!! Very much looking forward to meeting you all soon !
The Franco-British Young Leaders for 2025 have been announced 🇫🇷🇬🇧 / La cohorte 2025 des Young Leaders franco-britanniques a été annoncée 🇫🇷🇬🇧 : francobritish.org/en/2025-young-…
Bravo to all and I look forward to meeting you very shortly! It is going to be an exceptional few weeks in 🇬🇧🇫🇷relations with the State Visit/Summit coming up. Good to have you on board.

📣 New review! Dynamical systems and low-dimensional geometric structures in phase space help rationalize how embryos develop form and function, from large datasets. We focus on morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and their interconnection. @axplum sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
🚨 Paper Alert 🚨 Absolutely delighted to share our last paper on "spatial mechano-transcriptomics" in @naturemethods👇!! nature.com/articles/s4159…
Excited to share our latest preprint, out today on @medrxivpreprint. We leverage the complementary power of @brukerspatial GeoMx and CosMx platforms to delineate influences upon CD8 T cell accumulation in #cutaneoussquamouscellcarcinoma! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Thank you for the invitation @Sarah_JB_S @humancellatlas and very much looking forward to it 😀!!
Registration is open for the next @humancellatlas Musculoskeletal Bionetwork Meeting with Dr Adrien Hallou @Hallou_Lab. Open to anyone interested in MSK atlases in any species. The meeting will be held online on Wed 21st May at 4pm GMT. Register now bit.ly/4jhakA8
We are delighted to announce that Professor Paul Kubes will deliver the Newton-Abraham Lecture 2025 on 19 May, 16:30-17:30. All members of the University of Oxford are welcome. More details here: talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/91d4b…
Thank you @naturemethods for highlighting our recent paper on "spatial mechano-transcriptomics" in your April issue😀: nature.com/articles/s4159… nature.com/articles/s4159…
