Our knowledge exchange journey took us to the Netherlands 🇳🇱, collaborating with @SheilaWu16 @GriacG & @abilash_ravi09 @LUMC_Leiden. We learned precision cut lung slicing & about alveolus-on-a-chip models - pushing the boundaries of respiratory research 🔬 #ScienceExchange

[Johnson Lab @JJohnsonLab]

Well done to our PhD student Annelise for winning this award!

[Annelise Garrison (She/her) @AnneliseGar]

Thrilled that my poster "Modeling Vascular Cell Interactions using 3D Spheroid Fibrosis Models" won the award for best poster at the 5th Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Research Conference 2023 at Aston University. #AstonPGRConference23 @MIBTP1

So yesterday I finally graduated from Aston University with a PhD in Biomedical Science. It was a great day and it feels so good to finally say its done! @AstonUniversity @AstonHLS @AstonBioscience @JJohnsonLab

[Johnson Lab @JJohnsonLab]

This blood vessel is a star! ⭐️ We recently held another #outreach #biology day with local secondary school students to help them explore science in fun ways!

[Johnson Lab @JJohnsonLab]

It's been a fantastic year having @SheilaWu16 working with us in England. Now our collaborative project continues in the Netherlands! 👩🏼‍🔬

[Annelise Garrison (She/her) @AnneliseGar]

I had the opportunity to raise awareness about a topic I'm very passionate about #PhDepression #Mentalhealth. Thanks to everyone in @AstonBioscience and @AstonHLS for engaging and asking so many questions! #PhDlife

Dr Jill Johnson is at #ATS2023 @atscommunity in Washington, DC, to present a seminar on flow cytometric analysis of lung structural cells as well as recent results from Dr @SheilaWu16 et al. on environmental factors causing #pericyte dysfunction

[Johnson Lab @JJohnsonLab]

Congratulations to @R_Bignold Becky, who has been awarded a #postdoc position in our lab by the @BBSRC to continue her research on #pericytes in #lungdisease @AstonBioscience

[Johnson Lab @JJohnsonLab]

Congrats to our *former* PhD student Becky, who is now officially Dr Bignold!
