Thrilled to announce that I'm on Curious Cases tomorrow at 10am on BBC Radio 4!
The episode - Immortal Jellies - looks at some remarkably long-lived species and what they can teach us about ageing. This is a key area of focus for our lab.

First copy of The Paradox of the Organism in the wild!
Microchimerism is one of the most fascinating biological phenomena I've ever studied. But what do we actually know & what do we not know? Our new paper brings together microchimerism researchers to ask the key questions driving the field forward 🧬

Some of us carry cells from past and future generations.
Check out Lise Barnéoud's book on microchimerism to learn how we're all cellular mosaics.
Not all cells that wander are lost 😉
