MRC National Mouse Genetics Network

Distributed challenge-led research clusters working with the Mary Lyon Centre at @MRCHarwell to accelerate understanding of human disease using #MouseModels

[MRC National Mouse Genetics Network @MRCMouseNetwork]

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.

[Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell @MRCHarwell]

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!😊

[MRC National Mouse Genetics Network @MRCMouseNetwork]

“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 congratulations Sid and Philip! Amazing achievement!

[Philip Dunne @DrPipDunne]

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 🥇

And now @RobPitceathly of the @MRCMitoCluster reporting to #ELRIGDD24 about the network and what we can do to advance #therapeutics for #geneticdiseases making use of our #mousemodels at @MRCHarwell

[MRC MitoCluster @MRCMitoCluster]

@RobPitceathly will be speaking at #ELRIGDD24 tomorrow as lead of the @MRCMouseNetwork Industry & Translation working group - looking forward to making some new connections!
