LMB 365 – Day 263

Published on 20 September, 2019

Much of the research at the LMB must be conducted in carefully controlled conditions of temperature, vibration and magnetic fields. The Electronics Workshop works with Group Leaders to detect and analyse extremely small sources of potential interference. This image for day 263of #LMB365 shows a test spectrum createdusing precision sensors and software.

LMB 365 – Day 262

Published on 19 September, 2019

Day 262 of #LMB365 shows a confocal image of a gravid Caenorhabditis elegansworm from Ranya Behbehani in Rebecca Taylor’s lab in the Neurobiology Division. This model organism has been used at the LMB for many years since the initial studies on the genetic regulation of organ development by Sydney Brenner, Bob Horvitz and John Sulston.

LMB 365 – Day 261

Published on 18 September, 2019

Every year or so the LMB takes a group photo of all the current PhD students. Photos in the LMB Archive go back to at least the 1990’s. Day 261 of #LMB365 shows the current cohort posing for this year’s photo – watch this space for the actual photo…

LMB 365 – Day 260

Published on 17 September, 2019

Day 260 of #LMB365 shows Michael Fuller, who was born on this day in 1936. He served the LMB for over 44 years, as apprentice technician, Steward, Laboratory Services Manager and Special Projects Co-ordinator. This photo, taken at Venki Ramakrishnan’s Nobel party in 2009, was the 6th Nobel party organized by Michael

LMB 365 – Day 259

Published on 16 September, 2019

Drosophila Melanogaster is a key model organism used across the LMB to study fundamental aspects of biology. This image for day 259 of #LMB365 shows the dorsal portion of the fly thorax, called the notum, imaged by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) taken by Emmanuel Derivery in the LMB’s Cell Biology Division. In normal conditions (right-hand side), the notum is covered with hair, which are mechanosensory organs, and constitute a well-established system to study cell fate determination following asymmetric cell division. When the mechanisms of cell fate determination are compromised, for instance in mutant conditions (left-hand side), these hairs disappear. Such genetic studies are thus helpful to further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of asymmetric cell fate determination during stem cell division

LMB 365 – Day 258

Published on 15 September, 2019

On day 258 of#LMB365ina break between experiments, LMB scientists get competitive at table football in one of the communal spaces across the building. The table was purchased by crowd-funding within the LMB over 5 years ago and is still going strong!
