No big deal, I got to celebrate becoming a Dr. and wear the distinguished floppy hat 😂 I couldn't have done any of this without my amazing supervisors @drjojames Alys Clarke and @ChamleyLarry, my wonderful #JamesLab and wider Chamley/Cree lab families 🥰❤️ #teamplacenta
Had a really great two days of placenta fun at the #EPG2024 conference in Hradec Kralove meeting old friends and making new ones! Thank you to @EPG_Placenta for putting on a great conference and for the unexpected award for my presentation 🥳🥳 #placentafamily
Our paper looking at skeletal cell populations in adult human tissue, particularly the periosteum is out in Bone! authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
We did a large spectral flow panel on matched samples from 21 patients and find that the periosteum looks very different overall from the BM
#ACS2023 was a fantastic ride! From presenting our work to contributing on the organizing team, the experience was enriching. Bagging the EMCC runner-up spot was the icing on the cake! Huge thanks to @ACScytometry for this incredible opportunity! 🌟 #FlowCytometry
Very grateful to have just received an Auckland Medical Research Foundation (AMRF) Travel Grant to present my work at #IFPA2023 Can’t wait to see everyone there! Thanks @MedResearchNZ. Find out more about AMRF at medicalresearch.org.nz.
Amazing first big international meeting for my PhD students - with @AnanditaU taking out a poster presentation award & @cherrysun606 getting a travel award! Strong representation from @ANZPRA1 all round in the poster prize awardees! 🎉🎉 👏👏 #SRI2023
Thought you knew placental mesenchyme? Think again. Our latest @eLife paper identifies 4 distinct subsets in the 1st tri villous core, and considers their different roles in vivo, and which cells give rise to what we know as pMSCs in vitro. @IFPA_Officialdoi.org/10.7554/eLife.76622
Join us at Raising the Bar on 2 August to hear Anna Brooks talk about Long Covid and what this pandemic has taught us about a number of issues that desperately need attention.

Happy red nose day everyone! Glad to support @CureKidsNZ at school dropoff thismorning. These guys fund important research, including work in my group to help find treatments for fetal growth restriction. Read more here: curekids.org.nz/research/gro…
I’m so excited to officially be Dr Boss! An amazing day of celebration. Huge thanks to my incredible supervisors @drjojames@DrAnnaNZ@ChamleyLarry and my lab family, I feel so lucky to have you all ❤️❤️❤️
Excited to see our research on the cover of
@BloodJournal! Check out our paper on the role of the NMDA receptor in platelet production and function: doi.org/10.1182/blood.202101…

Thanks a ton to @CureKidsNZ for making our Friday. Can’t wait to use this to better understand abnormal placental blood vessel function in fetal growth restriction, & explore therapies to help improve this and give babies a better start to life. Kia ora rawa atu for backing us 😊
Perivascular MSCs play important roles in angiogenesis and vascular function. During her PhD @AnnaBoss100 discovered ways that MSCs from FGR placentae may contribute to impaired blood vessel growth/function in this disorder. Read more in our new paper: doi.org/10.1530/REP-21-0226
Paper published 💪🏼💪🏼 🙌
Media matters! Culture conditions affect mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) purity and phenotype. Get to know your MSCs!
