We study human epithelial barriers and their response to infections causing cancer. We make stem cell driven culture models to study epithelial biology invitro

We kicked off the week with an Impromptu Seminar by Francesco Boccellato (@Boc_Lab) on “mucosoids”, human stem-cell-based in-vitro equivalent of a mucosa to study epithelial homeostasis & responses to bacterial infections. Thank you, Francesco & host Adjunct PI Georg Busslinger!

@alinkmd Dear Alex, this is a terrible tragedy. My thoughts and heart are with the people of Magdeburg.

Merry Christmas 🎄 from Boc lab and Friends!

[Boccellato_Lab @Boc_Lab]

The best #postdoc and #PhD students in the world. I ❤️ doing #Science with you guys!

[Amanda Rossiter-Pearson @DrMicroMandroid]

@krobinson204,@Boc_Lab and I have a MRC-funded PhD (see link below- deadline 10th Jan). At the Uni's of Birmingham, Oxford and @RosFrankInst, you will use advanced organoid and microscopy technologies to understand how we can target the microbiome for stomach cancer prevention.

Today, @ClaudiaZagami successfully defended her #PhD #thesis! 🎉 This marks the culmination of an incredible journey of #discovery, driven by your boundless #curiosity, #passion, and #dedication. May the force always be with you on your next adventure!

[Boccellato_Lab @Boc_Lab]

@KimberlyHartl_ @ScienceAdvances @LabSigal Well done Kimberly!

[Boccellato_Lab @Boc_Lab]

Great to be at the Oxford #Stem #Cell institute annual symposium!

[Boccellato_Lab @Boc_Lab]

Looking forward to meeting the scientific community @i3S_UPorto! Thanks, @malino81 for the invitation!

/3 But, Helicobacter pylori can weaken this defence increasing the risk of developing #stomach cancer
Thanks @Ludwig_Cancer for the great support! #organoids #innateimmunity

Mucus protect us from infections, but how? Check our latest publication on Gut Microbes @tandfonline! https://t.co/OzSkcmBWCE. #Mucus in our gut isn't just a gel barrier; it fights microbes too! When our #gut gets inflamed, it makes #antimicrobial peptides. (1/1)

[Boccellato_Lab @Boc_Lab]

1/2 These are natural antibiotics that we produce to turn mucus into a germ-killing weapon. We have used our #mucosoids to study this. We found #inflammation triggers cells to release germ-fighting proteins into mucus, which can fend off stomach bugs like #Helicobacter pylori.

Hiring! We are looking for a full-time research assistant to join our team at @RosFrankInst to develop organoid systems for workflows on advance imaging. Exciting science and team! #newPI More information below👇 .
