An optimized approach for live imaging of human embryos enables visualization of mitotic errors during blastocyst development.
Recently was Qiulinโs viva and he passed without corrections! We are so proud of all the hard work and dedication that led to this achievement! Thanks so much to everybody that joined the celebration!

Thrilled to see this published!
Well done Ahmed on spearheading a project revealing mitotic errors in human embryos arise much later than anticipated.
Thank you to collaborators @bensteventon.bsky.social Leila Muresan and all of the wonderful teams at Bourn Hall and Create Fertility clinics!
Really exciting to see our new review published!
This review explores the evolutionary history of the extra-embryonic endoderm, an evolutionarily ancient tissue co-opted to form the yolk sac, and explores how in vitro models are uncovering its biology.

Very excited to share our newest findings! A very long team effort pursued by multiple team members -to frantically reproduce everything over and over-, we show mTOR-Polycomb synergy at promoters of developmental master regulator TFs in ESCs prior to their expression. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share our work on the structure and function of cytoplasmic lattices within mouse embryos. A collaborative effort with @niakanlab.bsky.social and work led by @kashishsingh.bsky.social and @inaharasimov.bsky.social . It is now out on BioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
