It was great to be back and see everyone! 🙂 The Manchester Cell Matrix Centre has been a home to so many of us, helped forge great networks and amazing friendships, and deliver great science. Happy 30th anniversary, may it long continue! 👏👏👏🍾
Great day today at the 30th Anniversary of the Manchester Cell Matrix Centre. Prof Mike Grant kicked it off with a great history of the origins of the Centre from 1966-1996 👍 Mike was instrumental in recruiting me to Manchester from UCLA and was a great mentor👍 1/n
Make your voice heard!🗣️ #ERDERA has launched a survey to explore how #RareDisease patients can contribute to EU-funded research. 🔐 Confidential & created with patients 🔗 Take the survey: shorturl.at/ePVuL (open until mid-July) 📄 More: shorturl.at/c03db @eurordis
We have a Dr!!! 🎉 Well done @marc_vlad24 on defending your @NC3Rs funded PhD! 👏👏👏 And thank you to @JHenstock from @NorthumbriaUni and Priscila Melo from @EngineeringNCL for acting as Marc's examiners. @CGM_NCL @IGM_Skeletal
It's viva time! @marc_vlad24 presenting 4 years of his work on tissue engineering of cartilage. Well done Marc, and good luck! @CGM_NCL @IGM_Skeletal #proudsupervisor

So well deserved!!
Hearty congratulations to my colleague Professor Kim Midwood @LabMidwood @KirOxford who has been awarded the Fell-Muir award for her pioneering work in Matrix Biology 😃👏!!
Today our @NIHRNewcBRC is running a Community Event, showcasing some of the research happening in Newcastle and, in particular, the PPIE or Patient & Public Involvement and Engagement. Our Ncl Centre 4 #RareDisease works v. closely with our BRC around research in rare conditions
Experts explain why scientists must commit to engaging with the communities they want to help at all stages of the research process — from planning to dissemination go.nature.com/41vZbUi
The deadline for signing up for Genomics of Rare Disease is 11 March - join us! I'll be presenting insights into the genetics of rare neurodevelopmental conditions from population-based cohorts (UK Biobank + birth cohorts). Great international speaker line-up.
