- Today we had our lab retreat at the Eddington Postdoc Centre for the first time in a while!🧪 We had so much fun combining workshops and team-building activities, and we definitely made the most of our time together. Do you do retreats in your lab? What are they usually like? We will read you below!👇
- Last Friday, we said goodbye to our amazing summer student, Yiping! Thank you for your hard work and bringing great energy to our team this summer. Wishing you the best in your next chapter!☀️
- Reposted by Niakan LabOur protocol with all the details you'll need to detect and quantify phospo-SMAD proteins in your (human) embryo, is finally out today @cp-starprotocols.bsky.social. Thanks again to my wonderful co-author @toddfallesen.bsky.social and the @niakanlab.bsky.social. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- Reposted by Niakan LabThis project has been very special to me. I want to thank James @lab-turner.bsky.social who gave me the chance to build my own research line outside of the lab's main focus on sex chromosomes, and to our collaborators Chris Barrington, Clare Critcher, Waz Varsally, Greg Alanis @niakanlab.bsky.social
- Reposted by Niakan LabVery happy to see this nice collaboration with @niakanlab.bsky.social bear fruit. Beautiful work by @clairesimon.bsky.social culturing human embryos in the presence of FGF/ERK stimulation/inhibition. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Very sorry to hear of the passing of Roger Pedersen. He was an outstanding developmental and stem cell biologist & helped to establish the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. Our thoughts are with his family. obgyn.stanford.edu/in-the-news/...
