Excited to share my PhD story, out in @Dev_Cell today: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…! We show that Nrf2-driven induction of the pentose phosphate pathway stimulates liver regeneration after injury. Thanks to @DrAndrewCox, @MAF_Dawson, Cox Lab and @TheDawsonLab members! Incoming 🧵1/9
We are looking forward to @sylvia_brugman's (Wageningen Uni) talk: "Using zebrafish to study the immune system's impact on the microbiota composition and intestinal disease risk" at #ZDM18 on Oct 13th at 11:00 in Boston! @ZDMSociety is also offering virtual access to #ZDM18!
We're excited to have Carine Smith from Stellenbosch University at #ZDM18 in Boston! Carine's talk "Autism spectrum disorder: from brain to gut" will be kicking off the GI and Metabolic Disease session on Oct. 14 at 11:00. @ZDMSociety will have virtual access for the first time.

Our department's snazzy new video highlighting our postdocs - featuring @vicky__tan and @JeremyRaymond44. Check it out here: xitter.cf/NDMOxford/status/19674…
Today marks the start of #PostdocAppreciationWeek, so we're kicking it off by sharing our first of three videos celebrating #postdocs here at NDM 📽️🥼
Watch @whitefishlab and two postdocs in his research group at @Ludwig_Cancer Oxford in the video below 👇👀

We’re honored to welcome Len Zon @leonard_zon, a zebrafish trailblazer who needs no introduction. Catch his talk in the Cancer Biology Plenary session at #ZDM18 on October 15th at 3:15 pm! @ZDMSociety #zdmsECI ZDM offers virtual access for the first time - join us from anywhere!

Next up in our #ZDM18 speaker series is keynote speaker Dr. David Langenau! His lab transformed cancer biology research by innovating some of the first zebrafish pediatric cancer models. Don’t miss his talk this October in Boston! @ZDMSociety @LangenauLab #zdmsECI

Meet our first #ZDM18 keynote: Dr. Cassandra Extavour @redmakeda! Her pioneering work in germ cell development has reshaped how we think about early embryogenesis across species. Can’t wait to hear her insights at ZDM18! #zdmsECI #ZDMSociety Abstract submission open until Sep 12!
#zebrafish researchers, @ZDMSociety is hosting #ZDM18 in Boston this year (Oct 13-15).
One of my favourite conferences with interesting talks and is always fun! Abstract submissions and early bird registrations close on July 11. Hope to see you there!

Lipid droplets are commonly seen in cancer cells. In our new paper, @Eleanor_M_Johns characterizes the lipid droplet "coat", and shows that DHRS3 is selectively expressed in the neural crest-like state. Not all lipid droplets are created equal: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

One of the highlights of the #ZDM17 has to be the fruitful discussion during DEI lunch with people from (almost) all continents about various issues, including geographic representation! Stay tuned for our @ZDMSociety @InfoIzfs joint DEI webinars in March 2025! 😁😁😁 – at Lisbon, Portugal
Thanks for the opportunity to share this work! An exciting story is brewing, and it started from Maya Emmons-Bell’s surprising observation where the regenerative microenvironment of the caudal fin is tumour suppressive. Hope to share the full story at the next ZDM 😊

#ZDM17 — what a conference 🤩 Thank you to @ZDMSociety for an incredible few days of science (and party)! I learnt so much from all the talks and chats, and was in awe of the keynotes (@LeilaAkkari1/@Planaria1). Extra special to catch up with the Cox Lab 🥹
A refreshing perspective on the importance of curiosity-driven and basic science.
In defense of basic science - my new video about how we balance basic vs. translational science: youtu.be/yl6ETxRfQn8?si=lEim…. . And why we should encourage a culture of wandering to solve problems:. A team effort between @UniofOxford and @OxfordSparks.

It felt like a Saturday afternoon in suburban Australia when the Oxford Uni AFL club took on local AFL teams in Zagreb. Well done to all involved. Football was the winner 🏉🇦🇺🇭🇷🥇@OUARFC @AFLEurope

Exciting news! First first author paper is here! Epigentic targeted CRISPR screening reveals PRMT1 as a negative regulator of STAT1-driven MHC-I expression. Thanks to co-first Mario, @Kearney_Lab @JohnstoneRicky and everyone involved ✨
PRMT1 acts as a suppressor of MHC-I and anti-tumor immunity dlvr.it/T3HkHw
Can’t believe it’s been 4 weeks since I started as a post doc in @whitefishlab, @Ludwig_Cancer in Oxford – where I’ll be exploring the relationship between regeneration and melanoma development 🧫🐟!
Also feeling grateful to have found the best AFL team in the UK @OUARFC 🤩 – at Oxford, England
Quantification of individual BrdU+ hepatocytes in vivo identified that NS supplementation improved hepatocyte proliferation significantly in Nrf2KO animals. Collectively, we demonstrated that Nrf2-regulated PPP promotes liver regeneration through nucleotide biosynthesis. 9/9
