Just wrapped up my first Chlamydomonas meeting (#CHLAMY2025)! 🌱
Honored to present in the Novel Methodologies session on deciphering CRISPR-Cas9 repair mechanisms to improve precision genome editing in Chlamydomonas.
Inspired by the science & this amazing community! 🚀
#CRISPR
Leading and organizing this workshop was an incredible experience! Both teaching CRISPR editing and helping attendees with their own projects made it truly meaningful. Thank you to everyone who participated and trusted us. Together, we’re advancing science! #CRISPR #Chlamydomonas
Thanks for this excellent three days of workshop! Full of incredible talks and experiments! We covered all the theoretical, technical and practical aspects for CRISPR-mediated editing and hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!
Thanks to all that made it possible!

Everything is ready for the inauguration of the Cajal exhibition in Bristol. The incredible room hosting the exhibition awaits you at @BristolUni. Looking forward to know more about Cajal, father of modern neuroscience.

Talking microalgae as fragrance factories at #PhycoFriday! Still amazed how we got these cells to make terpenes during my @KAUST_News PhD.
Join Mar 28, 10AM GMT if you're into sustainable biotech! 🧪🌊 #AlgaeNerd

🚀 Every day is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
As a PhD researcher working with CRISPR & microalgae at @EdinburghUni, I see the impact of women pushing the boundaries of knowledge every single day.
🔭🔬Let’s keep shaping the future together🥼👩🔬

1/9 I am excited to share our pre-print on spatial transcriptomics in wheat spikes in collaboration with @AshleighSLister. Using MERFISH, we resolved the expression of 200 genes to cellular resolution. Check out the pre-print 👉tinyurl.com/c7t3kncf

Attending #COP16 talks on energy transition & biodiversity. This hits close to home as Ecuador faces massive electricity shortages (10h/day) due to reliance on hydroelectric power. 🌍 Climate change is depleting water sources & delaying rains. (1/2)
