Distributed challenge-led research clusters working with the Mary Lyon Centre at @MRCHarwell to accelerate understanding of human disease using #MouseModels
We are excited to be able to announce today the research themes for the first set of 7 clusters that will form the @MRCMouseNetwork! They are: Cancer, Congenital Anomalies, Degron Tagging, Haem, Microbiome, Mitochondria, and MURIDAE

A key part of our mission is to train #ECRs to carry out their in vivo work in the most scientifically rigorous way. With that in mind, we recently held a week-long bootcamp at @MRCHarwell focused on the use of mouse models to study human disease:

We are proud media partners (with @MRCHarwell) for @camraredisease#RAREfest24 on 23 Nov, making #RareDiseases an everyday conversation. Get FREE tickets at https://t.co/rSIUGPxbDe for this festival for curious minds celebrating science, technology, community, and the arts.
Having just finished a rare diseases themed Genome Editing Mice for Medicine call, we've now opened a new general call for ideas & designs to get your free, novel, genetically altered mouse model generated by the Mary Lyon Centre.
Apply today!

First @NativeScientis1 workshop in Oxford to talk about how our mice help us understand disease… in Italian!Primary school children ask the hardest questions!😊
“At times, I found it a bit overwhelming due to the sheer volume of questions from the students – but, that’s what makes it exciting!"
We recently started working with @imascientist with 10 Network colleagues answering students' questions.

Massive congrats to Dr Sudhir Malla @MallSid winning the 2024 JD Williamson prize for medical research🎉
Sid used data from our @CRUKresearch Early Detection, @AcrCelerate, & @MRC_NMGN_Cancer to uncover new understanding of cancer
2nd year in a row our Belfast team has won 🥇
We've made a new video showing how we work with mice at the Mary Lyon Centre for #AnimalsInResearch week (@animalresearch), highlighting our commitment to the 3Rs and the improvement or development of sophisticated tests to better understand disease:

@RobPitceathly will be speaking at #ELRIGDD24 tomorrow as lead of the @MRCMouseNetwork Industry & Translation working group - looking forward to making some new connections!
This summer, we have funded two summer studentship positions for undergraduates and two paid Masters by Research studentships to look at cross-cluster data pipelines and analyse home cage monitoring datasets, all in partnership with @gen_res_uk
