Sarah Wiggins has started a PhD in the lab co-supervised with Marysia Placzek.
Sarah completed a BSc in Zoology and then an MSc in Developmental Biology, both at the University of Manchester. Sarah will be developing explant models of the limb and hypothalamus to address questions that are difficult to answer in vivo. Welcome to Sheffield Sarah!

Lara's paper on flight feather specification has just been published in Development, read here for the press release, and a duplicated chicken digit/feather bud pattern was selected as the cover image. Well done Lara for your first paper, achieved with one year's work.

Our latest paper has just been published in eLife. We describe a cell cycle timer that integrates growth and patterning in the chick wing bud. Finally published that p27 expression pattern after 14 years!

Our latest paper has just been published in eLife. We show that an intrinsic cell cycle clock regulated by BMPs controls and terminates chick wing bud outgrowth.
