Great day in the #piroglab, our bioprinter arrived today! 🙂Part of the @nc3rs.bsky.social Business Interaction Voucher Award, the printer will help us create a novel zonally stratified model of cartilage, in partnership with Copner Biotech. Watch this space!

Had a fantastic time at the BSMB Spring meeting in Manchester this week, learning about matrix biology and presenting our unpublished work on tissue-specific regulatory mechanisms in knee OA. Grateful to have received a poster award for this research and looking forward to attending again soon!

Truly an honor to be invited by #OARSI and @oacjournal.bsky.social to summarize all the amazing work in the genetics, genomics, and epigenetics of #osteoarthritis over the last year. A tough job with many great papers not included, but our review is now online: www.oarsijournal.com/article/S106...

A little late to sharing this, but we've recently published a report providing an overview of the research discussed at last year's OA epigenetics workshop in Toronto! A brilliant collaborative effort; read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Here it is! The first paper from my lab is out today in #AJHG In brief, we quantified the changing methylome through a large window of prenatal human articular cartilage development and identified methylation QTLs co-localising with 24 OA risk signals www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...
