That’s a wrap!!🏁We’ve reached the end of the 1st Animal Replacement Technologies Forum🙌🏼It’s been a day full of very interesting & exciting science!🧫🥼🧬💭 Many thanks to all the organisers, speakers, chairs, poster presenters and our sponsors @GW4Alliance 🙏🏻🤩

[GW4 Animal Replacement Network @gw4_3rs]

We have just started Session 2, which is our PhD and ECR showcase. This session will feature talks from Nika Barbara Pravica (@BristolUni), Uroosa Chughtai (@cardiffuni), Shichun Gu (@BristolUni ), Xiaoyuan Gu (@UniofExeter) and Jingrui Hu (@UniofExeter).

[GW4 Animal Replacement Network @gw4_3rs]

Dr Hazel Hall-Roberts (@ukdri @hazellroberts) has introduced our second keynote speaker, Dr Sally Cowley (@dunn_school @uniofoxford), who is giving a thought-provoking talk titled “Modelling neuroinflammation
using human iPS cells”.

[GW4 Animal Replacement Network @gw4_3rs]

Session 1 had excellent presentations by Dr Yasir Syed (@neurosciencecu), Dr Natalie Connor-Robson @nlconnor_robson & Dr Hazel Hall-Roberts @hazellroberts (both @UKDRI @cardiffuni ). Exciting research on oligoorganoids, endocytic dysfunction in AD & iPSC-Derived Microglia Models.

Work conducted by my team and I on the I18 beamline @DiamondLightSou - such fascinating creatures & a very exciting project to work on! @SchoolOfOptom

[Cardiff University @cardiffuni]

Researchers from #CardiffUniversity @SchoolOfOptom were part of a team of international scientists who have discovered how to generate miniature lacrimal glands from stem cells, providing new hope for people with dry eye disease.
