Vascular Research Lab UEA

Interested in saving humans, plants, and animals from killer fungi? ☠️🍄☠️ Then please apply to our post-doc position exploring the antifungal potential of targeting unusual four-stranded DNA structures in pathogenic fungi! Deadline 29th Jan! vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancies/603/…

and a big shout out to our amazing collaborators @SBidula @morriscj100 and @hfj22 . Also a big thank you to our funders @BBSRC @TheBHF and @NRPBIODTP

We are delighted to announce that our latest publication is finally out! Thanks to the hard work of @Rob_T_Johnson @ReeshaSolanki @FWostear doi.org/10.1111/bph.16…

Derek’s talk on “Cellular Biomechanics in Health and Disease” for BMRC Science Day! A great event to get know what our colleagues in the BMRC do across PHA, MED and BIO.

We have a funded PhD position in our lab! Are you interested in vascular mechanobiology? Why not come join us??! uea.ac.uk/course/phd-doc…

@FWostear Finn had a great time presenting his poster at the #BCS2023 @britathsoc @BSCResearch thank you for everyone who engaged, lots learnt and more experiments on the way! 😀

@doctorkriches @BSCResearch I really enjoyed sharing our findings, so thanks for the positive feedback @doctorkriches ! Smooth muscle cells really do like to keep us guessing!

Fantastic talk by @WarrenLabUEA at the @BSCResearch conference on smooth muscle cell mechanics - diverse phenotypes might be a headache but they are amazing 🤩

Derek Warren was presenting our research at the joint @britathsoc @BSCResearch @BritishCardioSo #BCS2023 this morning! Well done Derek, you smashed it!! 🥳

@RobinsonLab_QIB It’s how you respond to failure that moulds you into a great scientist! Always seek advice, never be worried about asking for help. We don’t know all the answers, if we did it would be easy!

During weekly lab meetings the people in my group present in one slide the highlights/progress of the past week. This is the best slide we’ve ever had. We laughed so much and hugged because: science is hard, it’s okay to admit it, and we are all in it together 🙂#mentalhealth

A great project supervised by an excellent scientist and person!! I would apply but feel I’m too old to work in the lab anymore 😂🤣

@SBidula @acmedsci @UEAPharmacy @UEAResearch @DrZoeWaller Well done Stefan!!! We should celebrate soon!!

Very excited to announce that I've been awarded a Springboard Award to investigate the regulatory roles of G-quadruplexes in fungal secondary metabolism! Thanks to @acmedsci for the funding and @UEAPharmacy @UEAResearch @DrZoeWaller for your support. acmedsci.ac.uk/more/news/over…

A big thank you to visiting speaker @WarrenLabUEA for a brilliant seminar. The discussion after involved some interesting exchanges of ideas too - thought prevoking stuff from all who attended thank you. #CardioEd #CardioResearch bit.ly/3KaopAl

@Cambridgecardio Thanks for the opportunity!! Really fun questions and discussions. I now have so many more ideas 😊

I don’t usually post personal news but Clinicians have told us to pull every lever. Our daughter has with #dipg Brain cancer. There is no cure and typically 9m life expectancy. If anyone knows of trials then please get in contact! #braincancer #childrenscancer @CR_UK

@Robert1Hayward Hang in there Rob!!

Cell migration, metastasis, macropinocytosis, mechanosensing... A CRUK-funded postdoctoral position is open in my group and the advert is now live!! #postdocposition #CancerResearch jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/39973/

I’ve been trying to sum up how all the uncertainty at UEA is making me feel. This nails it 🤗

Basic science abstract submissions are now open! Deadline 15th March, 17:00 GMT. Selected abstracts will be published in a special edition of 'Heart' BMJ Journal. For instructions and more details on the meeting head to: bit.ly/3KA7pnv

Really proud to see UEA students that I’ve taught and supervised leading the way at the Norwich Science Festival. My kids had lots of fun and really enjoyed themselves! Well done everyone, I’m very proud of you all ❤️
