What an amazing week of science at #ICHG2023 in my hometown of Cape Town 🇿🇦 Lab members, @Alana_Slike and @NamuliLucy did a fantastic job sharing their research with the global human genetics community (#proudPI)! We had fun spending time with the @brittdrog lab too! 🇿🇦🇨🇦🇺🇬🇺🇸🇸🇩🇵🇭

So thankful for the opportunity to attend the 2023 @BrOrganogenesis workshop this past week. I learnt more than I could've imagined and met many amazing scientists from around the world. Thanks so much to @Sergiu_P_Pasca and his team for putting together this incredible workshop!

Check out this enthusiastic #2023 cohort of international trainees in our Stanford @BrOrganogenesis hands-on course on #organoids & #assembloids!

Effort led by the amazing @RebeccaJLevyMD @FreddyMValencia & Merve Avar!

Today we welcome in our @BrOrganogenesis a select group of 27 trainees from all over the world— from India to New Zealand, from Japan to Argentina, from Israel to the UK or the USA— for an immersive week of experiments, lectures & discussions on neural #organoids & #assembloids

I am excited to share that the first analysis from the group (led by Alana Slike) is now published:

It was an amazing couple of days at the @CAN_ACN Meeting! Our lab started in April 2020, so this has been our first in person conference. It was nice to meet both new colleagues and talk science in person! Graduate student, Alana Slike, did a great job presenting her work

[Pharmacology & Therapeutics University of Manitoba @um_pharmacology]

It was a busy week at the @PharmacologyCan CSPT meeting! It was great to see presentations from both @um_pharmacology trainees (Nur Safa, Miller Lab and Alana Slike, @GalenWright Lab) and faculty (@PharmaLauren)!
