We are delighted to have been included in this years’ recipients of the Lister Research Fellowships from the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine. The Award money will go a long way to support our ongoing research efforts to disentangle neuronal processing in the visual system of vertebrates.
Heartfelt congratulations also to the other six winners:
Amanda Sferruzzi-Perri (University of Cambridge)
Mark Dodding (University of Bristol)
Rebecca Corrigan (University of Sheffield)
Joseph Marsh (University of Edinburgh)
Matthew Hepworth (University of Manchester)
Yanlan Mao (UCL)
The award ceremony will take place on September 7th 2018 at Corpus Cristi College, University of Oxford. Looking forward to an exiting event!
(and apologies to @YanlanMao for stealing the awesome title picture from her tweet!)

This month we have not one but two new lab additions!
Andre is joining us from the lab of Thomas Euler in Tuebingen. We will be pushing forward our efforts to build and promote Open Source Lab equipment. Marvin is joining us from Marion Sillies’ lab in Goettingen. In collaboration with Daniel Osorio, he will be working on colour vision in the avian retina.
