Excited to share our preprint that has been a long time coming! We share new roles for neural crest cells in heart development and congenital heart disease. Please check it out!

Sorting through a box and found a bunch of old conference abstract books, which made me realise they don’t give these out at meetings anymore! I really miss them, so much easier to navigate than huge pdf docs online!

Do you know of any students keen to do a PhD (or Masters) in cell biology? We have a scholarship available to investigate molecular mechanisms of heart/vascular/neural crest in development and disease, spread the word!
