Congratulations @LabRawlins who've been awarded an @ERC_Research Advanced Grant, focused on developing knowledge for future human lung regeneration The work will understand, or decode, how human lungs control the number & type of cells they contain #ERCAd pdn.cam.ac.uk/news/erc-advan…

#CABDseminars "Mechanisms and Mechanics of Morphogenesis: the role of supracellular coordination" by Katja Roeper @katjaroeper @PDN_Cambridge 🗓️June 6th ⏰ 12 pm 📍Rosalind Franklin auditorium at CABD Hosted by Acaimo González Reyes

I also caught up with Helena Crellin from @buckley_lab @PDN_Cambridge, who used a custom microscope with @CamMicroscopy to control actomyosin contractility in zebrafish and study how cellular forces can propagate along tissues. (3/3) youtu.be/6uce4whDt2M?fe…

@Martanska from @PDN_Cambridge presenting her work with gastruloids on how mechanical properties of individual cells can affect tissue level properties and morphology

Congratulations to the @Gates_Cambridge Class of 2025, who have been awarded scholarships in Gates Cambridge 25th year. A very warm welcome also to Tess Stanley and Yimeng Wang, who will be joining the PDN community! We look forward to working with you cam.ac.uk/stories/gates-…

We are delighted to welcome Dr Caren Norden to PDN as the new Charles Darwin Professor of Animal Embryology. This position plays a vital role in sustaining our thriving community of developmental and reproductive biologists. Read the story in full at pdn.cam.ac.uk/news/dr-caren-…

The @PerriLab are looking for a researcher to join their collaborative team, investigating how placental development & function contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes in cases affected by hypoxia or elevated heat exposure. For further details visit jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/51177/

Can dogs help tackle #obesity? 🐶 #Springboard25 awardee @EllieRaffan is comparing canine and human genetics to uncover new insights into weight and appetite. 👉 See how Springboard is backing such innovative research: bit.ly/42q0zsl @SciTechgovuk

We are happy to confirm that we're participating in this year’s AIM:PhD programme 🔬 AIM:PhD is designed to support PhD applicants with their application for doctoral study at the @Cambridge_Uni For full details, visit the AIM: PhD Website postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/aim-phd

Scientists, co-led by Dr Keita Tamura, discovered previously unknown neural modules that control mouth movements. By studying how the modules interact, they hope to better understand the mechanisms of the brain through simpler interaction of the modules actu.epfl.ch/news/unravelin…

Ever wondered why some Labradors are always hungry? 🐶 @EllieRaffan and her team @PDN_Cambridge have found new ‘obesity genes’ in Labradors that makes carriers prone to overeating. It also turns out the same genes can influence obesity in humans too. Read more about this study…

A study, published in @ScienceMagazine highlights the value of pet dogs as a model for understanding obesity in both humans and animals. The study, led by PDN Academic @EllieRaffan, illustrates how genetic obesity risk leads to weight gain. pdn.cam.ac.uk/news/dogs-prov…

What do scientists do when working in a lab? What is it like to be a scientist? And what supports the life of science? Join us for a performative exhibition that tells the stories of what it is like to be a researcher. Part of the @Cambridge_Fest festival.cam.ac.uk/events/living-…
