Using genome sequencing, researchers have discovered how leukaemia-associated gene mutations hijack blood cell production over the years, and how this relates to ageing and cancer development. Research by Moritz Gerstung josé Wellcome Sanger Institute ebi.ac.uk/about/news/res…



Results from our investigation of clonal haematopoiesis in 200k exomes released by UK Biobank in 12/2020 are published today in Nature Genetics. HUGE thanks to my co-leads Pedro M Quiros + Vassiliou Lab, and to all my co-authors, including Stephen Burgess & Slavé Petrovski...



BIG THANK YOU to my co-leads Siddhartha Kar and Pedro M Quiros and all co-authors including Stephen Burgess, Slavé Petrovski and muxingu. A great lockdown story !! I look forward to more !!








February is National Cancer Prevention Month❗ This month, we’re recognizing the scientific excellence of Dr. George Vassiliou from Cambridge University. His research identifies patients at high risk for myeloid blood cancer and aims to find ways to prevent it. 🩸


Very privileged to receive this #CRUKFunded award. A huge thank you to CRUK for supporting my research into #EarlyDetection of individuals at high risk of developing AML. Wouldn’t be possible without the support of Vassiliou Lab and individuals who donate their samples.
