In 2016 I attended my first @esostroke.bsky.social as a PhD student, now nine years later I've been invited as a Faculty
I'm feeling equal parts proud and impostor syndrome
Cheers for a great #ESOC2025

Last Week at #4YFN #MobileWorldConference our colleagues at @bsc-cns.bsky.social presented collaboration project, to use wearable data to personalize Stroke treatment
It was wonderful to be there, support them and see the amazing work in the medtech space
Hope we have great results for next year!

We've been awarded a UKRI MRC grant to examine the causes and consequences of #heterochromatin hypomethylation in cancer 🥳. #postdoc opportunity coming in the near future. #epigenetics. Please share with anyone who might be interested.

I'm working on a 2-3h DNA methylation hands-on analysis workshop, and thinking of preparing a full-day one. What would people like to learn in depth? I'm including, sample randomization, QC, preprocess and analysis

One of the joys of preparing a new manuscript -for me- is working in it's graphical abstract and figures, not without its challenges due to journal specifications.
