I’m excited to announce that the Buckley Lab will be moving to Manchester University (division of Molecular and Cellular Function) in April 2024! We will soon be hiring at all levels (PDRA, RA, PhD, Masters) so please get in touch if you are interested.

Excited to share our new paper! We use polarising mESCs in Matrigel to show that, during epithelial polarisation of embryonic stem cells, the site of apical membrane initiation is defined by E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion independently of cell division.

Here's our paper with the Clarke lab on how two separate polarised epithelia arise de novo in the middle of the developing zebrafish neural tube. Along the way we found an interesting connection between Crumbs, cell-cell separation and epithelial integrity

I'm so proud of my College, Pembroke, for running this 48 hour fundraising campaign to raise £70,000 to support a female Afghan Academic and offer them a safe place to continue their vital research. #AcademicAtRisk #PembrokeGives

We strive to uncover how mechanics and biochemical signalling work together to shape epithelial organs during development. We use high resolution imaging and optogenetic approaches in vivo, within the zebrafish neural tube and in vitro, within multicellular mESC culture.

Thanks #winterwatch for creating this with my footage 😍 starlings are my favourite bird and I think there must have been 50k starlings that evening on my local reserve they are just so extraordinary when they murmur

Sad not to be going to Woods Hole again this year. But the MBL is putting on some virtual seminars for some of the courses. The zebrafish one is on July 7th. Fingers crossed we will be back next year!

Have you always wanted to take an MBL summer course? Or are you one of our alums? Since we can't bring students to Woods Hole this year, we're bringing the MBL to you with MBL Virtual Programming of our most popular classes!

We think that this provides a mechanism by which dynamic cells within a growing organ can establish and then maintain a coherent epithelial structure even while cells are moving and proliferating

This is important, since it allows a continuous, fluid filled tube or cavity to arise in the centre of many different types of early organ, even when they are actively growing (and so the cells are moving around and dividing a lot).
