🔬 How do embryos develop?
Cambridge's Professor Azim Surani from
@gurdoninstitute has spent his entire career trying to understand early mammalian development.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of his discovery of genomic imprinting - the process in which specific genes are tagged, turning them on or off at the very earliest stage of life.
His discovery holds wide-ranging potential, from treating human disease, reversing ageing, and even saving endangered species.
