No big deal, I got to celebrate becoming a Dr. and wear the distinguished floppy hat 😂 I couldn't have done any of this without my amazing supervisors @drjojames Alys Clarke and @ChamleyLarry, my wonderful #JamesLab and wider Chamley/Cree lab families 🥰❤️ #teamplacenta
Congrats!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations to @AnanditaU on her PhD graduation today! Great to have her back in NZ to celebrate together 🥳 🥂#sillyhatday @FMHS_UoA

Had a really great two days of placenta fun at the #EPG2024 conference in Hradec Kralove meeting old friends and making new ones! Thank you to @EPG_Placenta for putting on a great conference and for the unexpected award for my presentation 🥳🥳 #placentafamily

Our paper looking at skeletal cell populations in adult human tissue, particularly the periosteum is out in Bone! authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
We did a large spectral flow panel on matched samples from 21 patients and find that the periosteum looks very different overall from the BM
Huge congrats on the runner up presentation award at #ACS2023! You smashed it 💪 such a fun conference!
#ACS2023 was a fantastic ride! From presenting our work to contributing on the organizing team, the experience was enriching. Bagging the EMCC runner-up spot was the icing on the cake! Huge thanks to @ACScytometry for this incredible opportunity! 🌟 #FlowCytometry
Very grateful to have just received an Auckland Medical Research Foundation (AMRF) Travel Grant to present my work at #IFPA2023 Can’t wait to see everyone there! Thanks @MedResearchNZ. Find out more about AMRF at medicalresearch.org.nz.

Please RT: We're on the hunt for a lab-based postdoc to use stem cell placentoid models and microfluidics to better understand how IVS blood flow impacts placental function. @IFPA_Official @ANZPRA1 @FMHS_UoA @ABI_bioeng @GeorgiaKafer jobs.smartrecruiters.com/The…
This is why we must characterise mesenchymal populations robustly before we culture them! @IPLASSociety #centreoftheplacenta
Thought you knew placental mesenchyme? Think again. Our latest @eLife paper identifies 4 distinct subsets in the 1st tri villous core, and considers their different roles in vivo, and which cells give rise to what we know as pMSCs in vitro. @IFPA_Official doi.org/10.7554/eLife.76622

Join us at Raising the Bar on 2 August to hear Anna Brooks talk about Long Covid and what this pandemic has taught us about a number of issues that desperately need attention.

Happy red nose day everyone! Glad to support @CureKidsNZ at school dropoff thismorning. These guys fund important research, including work in my group to help find treatments for fetal growth restriction. Read more here: curekids.org.nz/research/gro…
I’m so excited to officially be Dr Boss! An amazing day of celebration. Huge thanks to my incredible supervisors @drjojames @DrAnnaNZ @ChamleyLarry and my lab family, I feel so lucky to have you all ❤️❤️❤️

Very excited to get this project underway!! Thanks @CureKidsNZ
Thanks a ton to @CureKidsNZ for making our Friday. Can’t wait to use this to better understand abnormal placental blood vessel function in fetal growth restriction, & explore therapies to help improve this and give babies a better start to life. Kia ora rawa atu for backing us 😊
Thank you so much @ANZPRA1 @ESASRB I am SO excited!!! Wohooo! A massive thanks to #jameslab @DrAnnaNZ @ChamleyLarry and especially @drjojames for all your support 🥰 Congrats to all the other finalists!
Congratulations to @AnnaBoss100 for taking out the @ANZPRA New Investigator Award at @ESASRB #ESASRBANZBMS
Published in time to make my lockdown feel productive!
Perivascular MSCs play important roles in angiogenesis and vascular function. During her PhD @AnnaBoss100 discovered ways that MSCs from FGR placentae may contribute to impaired blood vessel growth/function in this disorder. Read more in our new paper: doi.org/10.1530/REP-21-0226

RIP to the Notorious RBG! Leaving a huge legacy behind. #RuthBaderGinsberg #feminist #equality – at Auckland, New Zealand
Paper published 💪🏼💪🏼 🙌
Media matters! Culture conditions affect mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) purity and phenotype. Get to know your MSCs!
