Very excited to share our latest work where we used genome-wide CRISPR screening to define the regulators of human naive pluripotent stem cell reprogramming. 🥳 Check out the tweetorial below for more info. 👇
Paper alert! 🥳🎉 Excited to share our latest study where we use genome-wide CRISPR screening to define the essential regulators and major impediments of reprogramming to human naive pluripotency - led by @Mandy_Collier and @bendall_adam science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… 1/13 🧵

Can metabolism regulate more than bioenergetics during human development? Our new study says YES! We show that metabolism influences cell fate choice in human naïve pluripotent stem cells, histone acetylation, and trophectoderm maturation. rb.gy/spqr9j @NatureCellBio

📢 Ready to rethink XIST? Our latest work, now in Cell, challenges two fundamental assumptions about XIST: its cis-limited action, and its role in equalizing gene expression between XX and XY genotypes. Dive in 👇🤿(1/6) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

It's time to bring single cell secretion measurement into the multiomics family! Check out our recent BioRxiv submission where we found unexpected relationships between VEGF-A secretion, the VEGFA mRNA, and the cell state: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

I cannot recommend this opportunity highly enough. I had a terrific experience working during my PhD with Peter. Awesome science and a wonderful mentor!
We are looking for a postdoc to join our team @BabrahamInst, to work on a project investigating gene regulatory mechanisms in human early development. For more info and to apply: babrahaminstitute.livevacanc… Please help us to spread the word.

I’m happy to share our new paper with @LabMomoko published today cell.com/stem-cell-reports/f… which examines how differences in the state of human stem cell pluripotency can lead to favorable or unfavorable outcomes when making brain organoids.
