Amazing to finally meet Majeedah Afolabi-Balogun in person after years of online collaboration! Thanks to Cambridge-Africa and TReND in Africa, we’ll be working together to build capacity for the early diagnosis of Cervical Cancer in Nigeria! Dept. of Pharmacology, Univ. Cambridge
Looking for a long read over the long bank holiday? 📚 Walid Khaled and their collaborators have published a completed version of their Human Breast Cell Atlas in Nature Genetics! More info in the below thread 👇
New discovery! Existing drugs could be used to prevent #BreastCancer instead of surgery. When looking at healthy carriers of BRCA mutations, Sara Pensa Austin Reed and Walid Khaled Walid Khaled found cells normally only seen in late-stage tumours. Read on bit.ly/3VzuVXp
Listen to our amazing boss Walid Khaled brilliantly explaining our latest research and future directions, and what implications it could have for BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers. On BBC R4!
Our paper on fast #coclustering is now in the April's issue of the Machine Learning Journal (@[email protected]). You can try the new (and even faster) #python implementation available on GitHub (github.com/rupensa/tauCC/…) DiUniTo Fondazione CRT hpc4ai #AI link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Thank you The Naked Scientists for the opportunity to talk about our work! Have a listen to what Austin Reed and I have to say about it! Walid Khaled thenakedscientists.com/articles/inter…
A paper in Nature Genetics reports on a single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of over 800,000 human adult breast cells, which identifies 41 cell subtypes and highlights age- and parity-dependent effects. go.nature.com/49r4ir1
Read Cancer Discovery's #ResearchWatch: A Single-Cell Atlas Uncovers Cellular Dynamics of the Human Breast, summarizing the work of Austin Reed, Sara Pensa, MarioniLab, Walid Khaled et al. bit.ly/4dqgLyt @univcampharm Cambridge Stem Cell Institute
Thank you Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK for recognising our prevention research!!! Walid Khaled
The workshop was funded by the Cambridge-Africa Alborada Fund, awarded jointly to Prof. Majeedah Afolabi-Balogun of Fountain University, Osogbo and Sara Pensa of Dept. of Pharmacology, Univ. Cambridge.
And it's a wrap! I am so happy about how much we have achieved. And this is thanks to Fountain University, Osogbo's support, the amazing work done by Majeedah Afolabi-Balogun's team in the MBGD lab, the trainers Francis and Abdurrahman Alkhamis FASLN and the amazing volunteers! Thank you all so much!
