The deadline for this fully funded (uk home fees rate) PhD is coming up soon (31 Oct) so please apply if you’re interested and spread the word if others on your network might be. Thanks!
Are you interested in a PhD focused on human stem cells, neuroscience, and industry collaboration to discover new targets for obesity? If so, check out this exciting joint project between the University of Cambridge and AstraZeneca: bit.ly/4otdwLm. Thanks for sharing!

🔑 The T-GATE project explores how tanycytes—specialized cells at the blood-brain barrier—can help deliver drugs for metabolic & neurological disorders. Bridging neuroscience and drug discovery! 👌More: projects.au.dk/open-odin/it... #ODIN #Neuroscience #DrugDiscovery
Exploring tanycytes for targeted drug delivery to the brain
Delivering drugs to the brain is one of the biggest challenges in modern medicine. The T-GATE projects aims to use tanycytes to do this.

I am excited to share our latest paper @Nature where we construct a hi-res spatial map of the human hypothalamus, the brain region central in appetite control. It is a collaboration between @IMS_MRL @Cambridge_Uni & @MPI_Metabolism

In the next few weeks we will start advertising for PhD students and/or post docs. We are looking for two people to join our group, one focused in pancreatic organoids and the other to join our computational team. DM if you are interested in coming to @ucph.bsky.social

Check out our fabulous 4D model of forebrain development, created in Blender from imported light sheet scans of HH10-20 dissected chick neuroepithelium, and painstakingly linked together by @elsieplace.bsky.social by combining published fate maps with 100's of our own samples.

We begin the New Year with two preprints on hypothalamic development. The first, part of a long-term collaboration with Marysia Placzek’s group, investigates the organization of the developing forebrain, and show that current models are (mostly) incorrect./1

Resolving forebrain developmental organisation by analysis of differential growth patterns
The forebrain is the most complex region of the vertebrate CNS, and its developmental organisation is controversial. We fate-mapped the embryonic chick forebrain using lipophilic dyes and Cre-recombin...
