First attempt at primary mouse neuron cultures. Lots of optimisation to go from here, but so satisfying to see those axons start to grow! #neuroskyence #neuroscience

Great opportunity to work in a highly skilled and supportive group

Happy #FluorescenceFriday everyone.

Here's another mouse neocortex (🔵 NeuN, 🔴 tdTomato, 🟢 GFAP, 🟣 DAPI).
This one was transfected/electroporated early in development (E13), but you can still see the injection site in this hemisphere at P10.

Another #FluorescenceFriday, another #neocortex. This one was testing out antibodies on E13 mouse (Tbr2, Pax6, Ki67, DAPI). The Ki67 wasn't great, but it makes for good art!

The recent wet weather in Brisbane has brought out all the frogs, like this Graceful Tree Frog I spotted last night.

I've been waiting all week for my first #fluorescencefriday entry!

Here's an old favourite from my PhD of P17 fat-tailed dunnart (marsupial) neocortex.

GFP transfected in green, intermediate progenitors in red, and mitotic cells in cyan.

Hi Bluesky, I'm an early-career #neuroscientist with a background in cell #physiology and #transcriptomics. I recently submitted my PhD on neocortical #development and #evolution and started a postdoc in #neurodegeneration and #neuroimmunology at UQ. Eager to connect and explore some great #science!
