Our first garden party, August 2020. Giulia loved Lexogen air launger!
Happy to be back in the lab even with the masks (July 2020).
During these challenging times I have decided to start running and at the same raise some funds to support cancer research, which unfortunately is suffering, as many other things, during the pandemic. I am not expecting to raise millions as Captain Tom Moore but I do hope that with my running and public support we can help CRUK to help cancer research going (April 2020).

Welcome to the first members of the lab: Giulia Guiducci from Italy (left) and Kaliya Georgieva from Bulgaria (right) (January 2020).
We were at the RNA UK 2020 meeting in Windermere. Great meeting and organisation with the unique Burns Night and one and only haggis.
We were presenting at the EMBO The Non-coding genome in Heidelberg. Also honoured to receive the prize for the best short talk. A lot of things to do now on these benches in the lab (October 2019)
We have officially started (October 2019)
