I am a cell and developmental biologist at the Living Systems Institute (LSI) in Exeter. We work on spreading Wnt signals and characterising cytonemes in zebrafish embryos, human neurons, and cancer using high-res imaging and mathematical modelling.

How many fish researchers fit into a tiny elevator? Answer; apparently all of us! Unexpected outcome: massively improved team spirit! 🐟📸

After months of experiments, failed injections, unexpected results, and those rare moments when everything suddenly works - our manuscript is finally submitted.

Today’s lab meeting came with proper birthday celebrations for our two birthday girls and, thanks to Jess, not one but two cakes.
A very strong experimental design: double cake input, significantly improved lab morale output. Cake really does make all data sweeter.
It was a pleasure to showcase our most recent data on cytonemes to the cell biology community in Bristol, including a long discussion about morphogen distribution mechanisms. Zebrafish cell biology rocks!
Wonderful PhD Day @lsiexeter.bsky.social today - full of great science, interdisciplinary projects, lively discussions and lots of laughter. Huge congratulations to our PhD students Jess Bansey and Lizzy Sears for winning Best Talk & Best Flash Talk Award.
Very proud of you both! 👏

Very happy to share that I have joined the Heidelberg CRC/SFB 1324 “Mechanisms and Functions of Wnt Signalling” as a DFG Mercator Fellow. Looking forward to linking our work @lsiexeter.bsky.social with @cosheidelberg.bsky.social. Wonderful to hear Gemma's excellent presentation on cytonemes.
The LSI Zebrafish Hub is very excited to welcome Prof Alex Schier - @schierlab.bsky.social - from the @biozentrum.unibas.ch for our Joint LSI/Biosciences Distinguished Seminar @lsiexeter.bsky.social tomorrow!
Please come along & join us!

Excited to welcome @scholpplab.bsky.social from University of Exeter to balmy Bristol for a masterclass on all things WNT & cytonemes! It was a delightful talk featuring #zebrafish 🤩🐟
