Our latest paper is out. We characterise a known but understudied phenomenon in fibroblast biology of phenotypic drift in culture conditions using cell surface, trancriptonic and functional assessments. @edinuni-irr.bsky.social @cruk-si.bsky.social @ukri.org

Great to host Chris Lucas from Edinburgh to give the @uofgsii.bsky.social Immunology seminar, on #macrophage #epithelial combined roles in #lung regeneration, key steps to new translational science in respiratory medicine. And learning across disciplines!

Congrats to all involved especially Lillian. Lots more to do with this work to understand with more fidelity. @edinuni-irr.bsky.social @cruk-si.bsky.social

👋🏽 Blueskyers. Doing a phased migration over here. I usually post about our research successes, failures, lab group ice cream outings and lung cancer screening (and in no particular order).
