Read MoreAnother great win for Roly Megaw- awarded a Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh ((RCSed) ) grant! Exciting collaboration with Marc Vendrell @dynafluors (University of Edinburgh) and John Forrester (University of Aberdeen) towards ‘Identifying Therapeutic Targets for Retinitis Pigmentosa by Defining Photoreceptor Cell Death’. Congrats to all!! @mrc_hgu @MRC_IGMM
Read MoreWe are delighted to announce that our own Roly Megaw has been awarded a Wellcome Clinical Research Career Development Fellowship!! Exciting times ahead on actin, disc morphogenesis & RP- with a little help from the Machesky, Wensel & Arshavsky labs!
Congratulations Roly- this is a huge achievement!
€600 million has been awarded between 301 of Europe’s top scientists, including support for the CiliaCircuits project: December 2019. Congratulations to Dr Pleasantine Mill of the MRC Human Genetics Unit who has been awarded a European Research Council Consolidator Grant for CiliaCircuits – a project examining the molecular principles of mammalian axonemal dynein assembly.
Read MoreWe are very proud of Tooba Quidwai- an Edinburgh Super-Resolution Imaging Consortium (ESRIC) PhD candidate- who successfully defended her thesis yesterday. Congratulations Dr Quidwai!!
Read MoreWe have exciting new tools and burning questions to ask about how functional mammalian cilia become potent signaling organelles. We need you! Interested in a PhD using advanced genetics, cell biology and imaging techniques to map where and when these processes occur in cells, and molecularly define these novel structures? Read more here. Applications close ***12th January 2020***
Daniel Dodd defends his thesis- congratulations Dr Dodd!
Read MoreMill lab hit the road for PCD Family Day 2019. We came. We smushed. We conquered DNA extraction! We also talked genes, genetics & ‘genome surgery’ for rare diseases, like #PCD.
