Delighted to have this work from my PhD published!
Using the amazing genetics and imaging capabilities of #Drosophila, we show that Simu-dependent apoptotic cell clearance modulates specific macrophage subpopulations in the embryo 1/3

Very grateful for the opportunity to speak about @HarveyHippoLab research at @AusFly2024! It's been a great day one and I'm looking forward to hearing about more amazing Australian #Drosophila research!

[Kat @KatMitchell_Sci]

Very excited to share our #preprint in @biorxivpreprint in which we found that the transcription factors of JNK and Hippo pathways control epithelial integrity by regulating an overlapping transcriptome 🧵1/10

[Elliot Brooks @ECBrooks92]

Great work @schmanning et al! It was a real privilege to play a small part in this exciting research

[Sam @schmanning]

Excited to finally share our work in @Dev_Cell describing how Hippo pathway transcription regulators navigate the nuclear environment and interact with the genome to control gene expression in live tissues. 🧵1/8 https://t.co/OLbo5hY8Bn

@BenjaminKroeger Thanks Ben!

[Elliot Brooks @ECBrooks92]

Finally we show the steroid hormone ecdysone is involved in establishing specific macrophage subpopulations in both the embryo and the pupa! Huge thanks to @delaevanio, @Ong_Lab and Martin Zeidler for all their help and advice! 3/3

Downstream of Simu we show that the Calcium-permeable channel Amo/Pkd2 is required for effective phagosome maturation, which seems to remove macrophages out of a specific subpopulation! 2/3

Fantastic opportunity to work with two great labs in a wonderful city, would recommend!

[Peter Mac Cancer Centre @PeterMacCC]

Incredibly pleased to announce that Dr @KatMitchell_Sci has taken out Peter Mac MicroART 2023 with her stunning image "In the Eye of the Beholder".

Dr Mitchell uses the fruit fly to investigate how the Hippo pathway controls growth and #cancer.

Cannot recommend this lab, the city or this model organism highly enough!

@My_Metro Can you use metro passes for national rail trains from Central to Heworth or do you need to buy a ticket?

[Elliot Brooks @ECBrooks92]

Last day working as an academic tutor with @UOSMedicine, I've had the pleasure of working with some amazing people and medical students. Good luck for the future PBL group 7, you're all great!!

[Elliot Brooks @ECBrooks92]

This still hasn't quite sunk in! Thanks @delaevanio and @Ong_Lab and many others for all the support over the years! #PhDone

@JACoates I used to put virgins in cages with one single male and look at their embryos

[Elliot Brooks @ECBrooks92]

@ArnaudjLegrand @delaevanio @OlivierTardy2 this tickled me

[Elliot Brooks @ECBrooks92]

Good effort! @delaevanio

[Elliot Brooks @ECBrooks92]

A great project working for two great labs on the best model organism! Would recommend

[Simon Johnston @JohnstonLabs]

We are very very very excited to have our latest paper out in @PLOSPathogens We have lots to say about this paper but for now please see for yourself #infection #meningitis #cryptococcus #zebrafish @JosiePyrah @ShefUni_IICD @FloreyInstitute @BatesonCentre https://t.co/leSF43Xqm6

@delaevanio @OlivierTardy2 HeLa go again (on my own)

@delaevanio @OlivierTardy2 Whatever happened to JJ774? (Very niche, one for @delaevanio
