🤩 Very excited to share our new work! We have derived euploid and aneuploid trophoblast organoids and extra-embryonic mesoderm cell lines from early human embryos. In doing so, we have characterised the tissue requirements for their specification. If you want to know more, continue reading….

What a week! Found out that I got awarded an EMBO scientific exchange fellowship to set up my collaboration with @marta-shahbazi.bsky.social, and officially became a mom of 2! 🎉

Had so much fun the past few weeks playing around with human trophoblast stem cells and organoids in Cambridge! Thanks @marta-shahbazi.bsky.social for hosting me, @lucaschwarz.bsky.social for all his experimental wisdom, and everybody at @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social for making me feel at home!

Happy to share that I've been granted a NWO-XS grant to apply chromosome engineering and study aneuploidy in human trophoblast stem cells! Many thanks to @agathechaigne.bsky.social and @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social for the support during the grant application!
