Research Fellow @ MRC WIMM. Permanent resident of tissue culture hood 82. Organoids, bone marrow and haematopoeisis by day. Heavy metal, climbing, bookworm also by day let’s be honest I’m too old to do anything in the evenings any more.
!!! It's official !!

After a very, very long couple of years of rejections and the seemingly impossible task of juggling grant writing with bench work, supervision, admin, paper writing.. very happy to officially start as a @wellcometrust.bsky.social funded group leader at the WIMM

NEW: Oxford researchers link mini organs to show how immune cells race to the rescue after heart injury 🧪

@abattacks.bsky.social & colleagues linked cardiac and bone marrow organoids with a 3D-printed device to model this complex immune response.

Body-in-a-chip approach reveals how immune cells respond to heart injury
Oxford scientists build a connected, ‘multi-organoid’ platform that recreates immune recruitment to the heart, opening new avenues to probe disease and test therapies.

Good morning everyone, I'm pleased to share our latest advance in bone marrow in vitro modelling:

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
comBO: A combined human bone and lympho-myeloid bone marrow organoid for pre-clinical modelling of haematopoietic disorders
The bone marrow supports lifelong blood and immune cell production. Current human bone marrow organoid models do not include both lymphoid and myeloid elements and lack the complexity of stromal cell ...
