Isaac Walton

DPhil candidate in medical genetics & craniosynostosis at @SomervilleOx, @UniofOxford | Science Content Contributor at @RI_Science 🔬🐭🧬🏳️‍🌈

[Isaac Walton @IsaacSWalton]

Thrilled to see the first paper I've ever co-authored out now in @JMG_BMJ! It's the first sliver of my DPhil research to make it into the literature, with hopefully more to follow soon... Exciting times!

[Wilkie Lab @Wilkie_Lab]

🧬🚨 New paper alert! 🚨🧬

Published in @JMG_BMJ, collaborative work involving @IsaacSWalton, Chingyiu Pang, and Andrew Wilkie from the @MRC_WIMM reports the first two #craniosynostosis patients with homozygous variants in #SMAD6.

In the 2nd scientific session of the day, chaired by @jojdavies, three PhD students are battling it out to win the Ita Askonas Medal and a £500 prize! 🏅💸

Good luck to all three finalists, @lizthescientis1 (Rehwinkel Group), @IsaacSWalton (@Wilkie_Lab) and @josephhamley98 (@jdavieslab) 🍀

[Wilkie Lab @Wilkie_Lab]

Congratulations to our DPhil student @IsaacSWalton!

Isaac won the Judge’s prize at @Oxford_MRC_DTP for speedily presenting his research about modelling ZIC1 craniosynostosis in mice - in under 3 minutes ⏱️‼️

[Isaac Walton @IsaacSWalton]

Who says messing around on iMovie as a kid doesn’t come in handy later in life..!

Honoured to have gotten the @Oxford_MRC_DTP Judge’s prize for my 3-minute research competition video summarising our Lab’s efforts to model ZIC1-associated craniosynostosis in mice 🐭🧬

[MRC WIMM @MRC_WIMM]

Congratulations to our students @grace_meaker and @IsaacSWalton, who both won awards at the Oxford MRC Doctoral Training Partnership Symposium (@Oxford_MRC_DTP) earlier today.

Grace won the first prize in the student short talks, with her piece on 'The Novel Role of Runx Factors: Regulating Haematopoietic Stem Cell Expansion'.

Isaac won the Judge’s Award in the 3-Minute Research Competition.

Well done both!

Calling LGBTQIA+ Somervillians of all ages! This Pride Month, we'd love to hear about your time at Somerville. If you have any memories or photographs from your student days that you would be happy for us to share, please email [email protected] by Sunday 9th June.

[Wilkie Lab @Wilkie_Lab]

Congratulations to our DPhil student @IsaacSWalton who has been shortlisted for the Ita Askonas medal!

Isaac’s presentation was on the mouse modelling of ZIC1-associated craniosynostosis, and can be heard again at WIMM day later in the year 🧬🐭

[Isaac Walton @IsaacSWalton]

Very excited to have been shortlisted for the lta Askonas medal! Looking forward to presenting again at our Institute’s annual symposium in June 🙌

[MRC WIMM @MRC_WIMM]

It was wonderful to see the Seminar Room so busy yesterday for our Student Presentation Day!

Congratulations to everyone who presented, especially @lizthescientis1 (Rehwinkel Group), @IsaacSWalton (@Wilkie_Lab) and @josephhamley98 (@jdavieslab) who have been shortlisted for the Ita Askonas Medal 🎉

[Isaac Walton @IsaacSWalton]

@MichaelSadgrove I have no idea how you worked that out from the photo but yes I am, good eye!

I’m tweeting this from a gorgeous modern underground lecture theatre in maths, not the 1960s hospital I usually hang around - so very different to what I know too..!

[Isaac Walton @IsaacSWalton]

4 years into my DPhil… and I finally had to make my first ever poster!

[Wilkie Lab @Wilkie_Lab]

Our group are away from the hospital today for the annual @RDMOxford day!

If you’re attending be sure to stop by our DPhil student @IsaacSWalton’s poster on mouse modelling of ZIC1-associated craniosynostosis 🐭🧬

[Isaac Walton @IsaacSWalton]

@JudyRSayers @GroupRiley @IdrmOxford @OxfordDPAG @UnivOxford Eyyy congratulations Dr Sayers!!! 🎉

[Wilkie Lab @Wilkie_Lab]

At the Wilkie Lab in Oxford, every day is #RareDiseaseDay as we continue to research the genetics of #Craniosynostosis, a rare skull condition

From FGFR2 to PRRX1 twenty-eight years later, the hunt for causative genes of Craniosynostosis in our group never stops!

[Wilkie Lab @Wilkie_Lab]

Calling all rare disease researchers and clinicians who have a variant of uncertain significance... 🧬

The @MRCMouseNetwork & @NMGN_CongAnom (co-led by our PI @srftwigg) are currently looking for VUSs to model in mice! 🐭
