Another great WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) run & walk 🏃‍♀️

You sometimes see some strange things out the office window

This fiery and evocative still image by Claire Marceaux and Aysha Al-Ani is called “On Fire”.

Can you guess what highly capable and complex organ is being depicted?

Congrats Assoc Prof Tim Thomas & Prof Anne Voss, winners of the Australian Museum #EurekaPrize for Scientific Research!

Their work led to a new class of drugs that can put cancer cells ‘to sleep’ without the harmful side effects caused by conventional treatments.

We had so much fun capturing some awesome biology with DeadlyScience students and ZEISS Microscopy! Featuring Edwardes Lake water 🔬

You’re looking at moving image “Disco” by Sabrina Lewis. It depicts a “map” of molecules within cancer cells in a small region of a tumour. How can something so beautiful be so deadly?

In collaboration with the Dulac lab, we developed 3D MERFISH for volumetric imaging of thick-tissue slices up to 200um. A useful tool to facilitate the integration of functional and morphological measurements with spatial genomics in the future.

Another day, another friend’s fab completion seminar. Congratulations Maggie Potts! 🎉

Has anyone seen this intra-tissue gel ruffling for #merscope ? 🥲 Plz DM

“Our lab likes to play table tennis for fun”

Yes it’s good to take a break from image analysis from time to time…

Excited to share the second piece of my PhD work! Our paper on generating 2D and 3D spatial transcriptomic maps of whole mouse embryos during early organogenesis with Adriano Bolondi, PhD Luyi Tian 田鲁亦 is out in Nature Genetics 🐭🧬 MPI for Molecular Genetics Broad Institute.

During my PhD and now my postdoc, I've seen how technologies developed in academic labs can be commercialised such that other groups with sufficient funding can 'simply' purchase a new piece of equipment to acquire a new capability. 1/
