Incredible few days at the Nanopore Community Meeting. Thank you to @nanopore for inviting me to talk about our work looking into base-pair level chromatin accessibility @nickdlowens #nanoporeconf

Wonderful graduation day with the best supervisor you could ask for @PsyEpigenetics

Thrilled to be speaking at the Nanopore Community meeting in September!

Ailsa MacCalman is enhancing our understanding of disease & cell regulatory function. At #nanoporeconf, she'll discuss using direct #nanopore sequencing to investigate the co-operative binding of transcription factors at a disease locus. Learn more: bit.ly/3Lg2tDu

Watch: @DrElisaDeFranco on the @Exeter_Diabetes team's discovery - a gene that is crucial for the human pancreas, yet does not exist in nearly all other animals. It challenges assumptions about how the regulation of development evolves. Full vid here: news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-hea…

Excited to announce our discovery that the primate-specific gene ZNF808 is necessary for pancreas development is finally out in @NatureGenet (nature.com/articles/s4158…). Here is the story of what we found, a thread (1/10)


Incredibly honoured to be joining @nickdlowens new lab in such an exciting field! There is still time to apply for other positions in the group!

Huge congratulations to @nickdlowens on his £2 million @wellcometrust Career Development Award. The award will fund #research into the #genome's regulatory sequence code in the #pancreas to gain insights into #diabetes. (1/2)

Exciting few days of handing in my thesis Friday and today I’m able to share my first pre-print of my PhD research! Incredibly grateful for the support I’ve received over the last 4 years! @PsyEpigenetics @DrElisaDeFranco @aaron_r_j biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to attend and present at the @IsletsInVan2023 An amazing few days of even more amazing science. Feeling incredibly inspired for my last few months of my PhD
