A personal milestone - PhD successfully defended (with no corrections 🥳)

A heartfelt thank you to my supervisors @wbickmor.bsky.social @simonbiddie.bsky.social @eliasfriman.bsky.social @KennyBaillie and the entire Bickmore lab who made this a wonderful 4 years ✨

Genetic variants can cause protein-coding mutations that result in disease. What about in alternative isoforms? Excited to share my first first-author pre-print! Here we show many variants reside in tissue-specific isoforms, causing coding mutations. 1/

Truly amazing week at the #EMBOEnhanceropathies workshop at Hindsgavl slot, what a great community to be working in!

The #EMBOenhanceropathies workshop was truly outstanding - such a wonderful community to be part of and exciting science from start to finish! Group photo in front of Hindsgavl Slot @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @uoe-igc.bsky.social - we had a blast! 🧬

That’s a wrap on the @gensocuk.bsky.social Epigenetics meeting in Belfast, what an absolute treat it’s been!

Lovely ‘Hidden Cell, Dark Genome’ meeting right here in Edinburgh over the past couple of days! Really enjoyed and finally learned what hidden cell means
