📢 Very excited to share the most recent publication from my PhD work at @3dmodelsucl on a novel technique to produce acellular and aligned collagen I tissues in a rapid way📝🎉

Rapid biofabrication of cell-free, anisotropic collagen tissues using ... https://t.co/JwOWJGRlve

Great talks and posters at @euroocs in the sunny Milan @polimi 🇮🇹 ☀on organ-on-chip and microfluidics 🧫 glad to be able to present the work from @LTubularCentre @RenalUCL on collecting duct organ-on-chip models🔬 and chat to different researchers from all over Europe! 🇪🇺

Lucky me, spoilt with choices on what I can buy with the @ryanair voucher of £3 at Stansted Airport, when a microscopic pack of haribo costs even more than that 😑

Today we celebrate #WorldSickleCellDay!
We are visiting the SC Cause group at The George Marsh Centre to talk about #redresstrial and the importance of #research

Would you fly to Mars? Possibly not after reading this...

[Viola D'Ambrosio @Violadmb]

🚨 Out now!

Curious to know what happens to your kidneys when you go to space? 🚀

A behemoth of integrated omics data finally published.
@KeithSiew & @LTubularCentre kindly brought two @UCCPhysiology boys along for the ride!

It all started with 2 bottles of wine & tipsy e-mail to NASA during Covid... but it's finally here and I'm so excited to finally get to share my #CosmicKidneyDisease paper in @NatureComms

Couldn't have done it without the support of all at @LTubularCentre

🏆 So proud of being part of the monumental work behind this paper🚀🌌 and if you are thinking of going to Mars, *spoiler alert*, think again!

[London Tubular Centre @LTubularCentre]

#CosmicKidneyDisease @NatureComms paper led by @KeithSiew has launched! Using 50+ datasets of humans & rodents exposed to spaceflight & galactic cosmic radiation simulating a Mars trip, we found the signs of kidney dysfunction, tubule remodelling & damage!

We were lucky to have a great scientific visitor in the lab! 👇🤩

@SVergult @Co_Biologists @LTubularCentre @ugent @PhotoBioLab @FunGenLab @MichaelBVaughan Thank you! It was great being part of the group during the past weeks and yes I did actually get to try vol-au-vent thank to your recommendations 😋

[Alessandra Grillo @_Alessandra_G]

🇧🇪 Thanks to @Co_Biologists for funding this collaboration between @LTubularCentre and @ugent @PhotoBioLab @FunGenLab using nanoparticle biosensors to characterise tubule cell function 🔬 Special thanks to my co-conspirator @MichaelBVaughan, neither of us murdered each other 😜⚔️

[Alessandra Grillo @_Alessandra_G]

And of course many thanks to everyone from both groups for the warm welcome to Gent and for making this experience definitely more fun 🧫🔬🍻
