@metzisv
Developmental biologist. Interested in how cells make decisions, genetics, genomics, tissue engineering and stem cells. Group leader @MRC_LMS @imperialcollege
Our latest work combining computational genomics with developmental biology and stem cells now online @CellCellPress. Great fun working with @ssteinhauser2 @luscombelab @briscoejames to define cell identity using genomics cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Everyone is talking about the US elections but let’s not forget another important event: @KatyBoswell4 from our lab successfully defended her Thesis yesterday-many thanks for @metzisv and @KyraCampbellLab for examining!
Closing on the 20th of October is a PostDoc position in the Development and Transcriptional Control group led by @metzisv lms.mrc.ac.uk/vacancies/mrc-…
What an amazing day. Packed schedule discussing science all day. Essentially the reason why this is my dream job 🧬👩🔬🧠 Thank you so much Vicki @metzisv @MRC_LMS for hosting.
Delighted to be hosting @joadelas today @MRC_LMS @ImperialMed! Looking forward to hearing all about her latest work and new lab @LMCB_UCL supported by @wellcometrust #enhancerlogic #neuraltube #timing
This was such a great project to get involved in and I’m super-proud of the result! Please do check out this documentary on the wonder and value of #devbio, brought to you by @_BSDB_, @Dev_journal and @CamFilmWorks

Today is #AdaLovelaceDay, which celebrates women in STEM. Ada Lovelace was a pioneering mathematician and computer scientist, so we’re sharing the incredible work of some of the women at the @MRC_LMS who use computational techniques in their research. @FindingAda
A chance to do brilliant things in a brilliant lab in London!
ICYMI: we are hiring! Come and join us @MRC_LMS for a #postdoc #regulatorylogic #devbio #stemcellmodels in an excellent environment with fantastic support and colleagues :) thenode.biologists.com/jobs/postdoc-i…
Closing on the 13th of October is a PostDoc position in the Development and Transcriptional Control group led by @metzisv lms.mrc.ac.uk/vacancies/mrc-…
The 5-year postdoc position in my lab is now "live" for applications! Deadline to apply is November 3rd: imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jo… Please RT
Our collaborative NIH-R01 to study the role of TEs in ALS was awarded today, in collaboration with Davide Trotti and Piera Pasinelli (ALS Center at Thomas Jefferson University). Our lab in London will soon advertise a 5-year postdoc position. Please reach out if interested!
Really thrilled and very grateful to @TheBHF for this award that will support our work on #AI in cardiovascular science. Huge thank you to group members and colleagues past and present @MRC_LMS @ImperialNHLI @ImperialNHS @ImperialMed. ❤️#whyCMR
We’re delighted to announce @DrDeclanORegan from @ImperialCollege as the first BHF Professor of Cardiovascular AI. Declan’s cutting-edge research will use AI technology to understand more about how our genes and environment affect our hearts. bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/our… @ImperialMed…
