Regenerative medicine through the lens of an artist
In 2017 we ran our first Artist in Residence program, inviting nine talented artists to each spend a week exploring the theme of regeneration whilst being immersed in the research environment. They experienced cutting edge science first hand, took part in experiments and picked the brains of our brilliant scientists. They were also allowed to […]
The Science of Juggling: Mirana Ramialison on Research and Motherhood
Life of the female scientist will inevitably incur more career disruptions than that of their male counterparts.

Spotlight on zebrafish
Although they are small in stature, measuring between 2.5cm to 4cm, the tropical fish native to South East Asia are making important contributions to scientific research, particularly the field of regenerative medicine. The zebrafish (also known as Danio rerio) has become a widely used model organism in scientific research because of some key advantages. What are […]
