From Elizabeth Marin at Zoology Dept., Cambridge University:

"Together with Greg Jefferis (MRC LMB, Cambridge), Wei-Chung Allen Lee (Harvard Medical School), and Meg Younger (Boston University), I have secured a £4.8M Wellcome Discovery Award to generate a mosquito brain connectome and investigate chemosensory circuits involved in human host-seeking."

"We are currently recruiting for two research assistant positions based in the Zoology department at Cambridge University. Please share this post with any likely candidates :)."

We had our very first practical school at the Centre for Organismal Studies at @uniheidelberg !

This was a hands-on volume EM and sample preparation course with several theoretical lectures.

More #introduction about our ZooCELL network.

We will do a lot of volume electron #microscopy #volumeEM focusing on sensory systems in marine #animals

We will combine this with single-cell #genomics, correlative LM/EM, #AI -based image segmentation and classification, and genetics
