Together with Dr Jennifer Ashworth, we are delighted to share our recent review in Nature Reviews Cancer on "The importance of 3D matrix architecture in cancer & implications for biomaterial model design" → rdcu.be/dK15H ← Garvan Institute of Medical Research University of Nottingham Vet School Uni of Nottingham School of Medicine #WeAreUoN University of Nottingham Biodiscovery Institute

The phrase ‘metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer deaths’ is one of the most widely used in cancer research, yet it is overly simplistic & imprecise. Here we dig deeper into the events leading to cancer mortality nature.com/articles/s4156… 1/2

I am on a Wellcome panel and have found it inspiring and interesting. I’ve never had Wellcome funding, which I think holds people back (they think that is required to sit on a panel). I would urge people to apply.

Unexpected and slightly overwhelming news from UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences. I am extremely grateful to Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK for their constant support and most importantly the incredible scientists UCL Cancer Institute past and present who made this happen. A privilege to stand on the shoulders of giants.

Looking forward to this weeks Cambridge Immunology Network seminar with Dr Sophie Acton, Group Leader UCL Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology 🎙️“Stromal/Immune crosstalk to control lymphoid tissue structure and function” 📅Friday 12 July 1-2pm 📍 JCBC Lecture Theatre ➡️bit.ly/3RTbiqy UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences | Dr Sophie Acton

So, it turns out that we now can do Western blot from single cells. Cool ! At least it worked for them in #cancer cells. Full story Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

📢JOB ALERT!! Our team is looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher to lead a project exploring the role of cancer-associated fibroblast (#CAF) heterogeneity in treatment responses in breast cancer, as part of a Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer project. Please share! More details👇

Happy to share the review Orion & I wrote for Current Opinion in Cell Biology ! Weiner Lab authors.elsevier.com/a/1jPA23PA3sYq…

Come and work in our department! Lectureships / associate professorships / full professorships in cell models, computational biology, neuroscience, and general biological sciences (includes immunology). Friendly, dynamic department - I’m very happy here jobs.soton.ac.uk/vacancies.aspx…

A beautiful article about PhD thesis acknowledgements 🥹 I've been v fortunate to read countless PhD theses over the years, and the #acknowledgements section is always the first page I go to, and my favorite to read 😊 science.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne… Thanks Daryl Yee for sharing it!

We are honoured & absolutely delighted to be awarded the #RogerWilliamsLegacyGrant2024 This will allow us to really get back into #immumometabolism, with some cutting edge techniques and hopefully some fabulous new collaborators👏😀🥂

Really looking forward to this meeting organised by stellar The Crick post-docs. Places are still available for posters and short talks, so do come along to hear and discuss the latest findings in cancer research.
