Really enjoying this double conference IGES and ASHG trip so far! Come to poster 8006 at 2.30 to hear about how where we carry fat tissue influences our risk of cancer! #ASHG2024

What an exciting discovery. Congrats to the team! Leaves us even more perplexed as to what is the cancer ‘Rubicon’. Interestingly, we don’t see it in the normal tissues we’ve studied. Maybe breast epithelium is different ? Maybe that accounts for BRCA germline tissue selectivity?

Extremely proud to see my PhD project exploring intra-tumor heterogeneity in complex karyotype AML finally out in Nature Genetics ! 🎉👩🏻‍🔬 They say that 10,000 hours make you an expert, so I guess after more than five years of work I’m half-way there 😅 ⬇️1/5 nature.com/articles/s4158…

A pleasure to collaborate on this work with the outstanding Simone Zaccaria, Olivia Lucas and many others. SPRINTER is an outstanding and diligently constructed tool which I’m sure will be useful for many of other research projects.

In case you missed this from Charles Swanton - our new paper is out - we assess the clinical sensitivity for the prediction of relapse in lung adenocarcinoma from pre operative ctDNA samples provided by the added technical sensitivity of a 1800 variant WGS assay 1/3

Very grateful to #Springboard25 for this support to push forward our development of methods for spatial profiling of somatic evolution. These ring fenced opportunities for early PIs are hugely helpful to push forward our research at this stage of the lab's development.

Interested in the mysteries surrounding metastasis evolution? This perspective in Nature Reviews Cancer is my best attempt at proposing a framework that could help advance our thinking about the topic. Well. At least it helped advance my own thinking. 😅 nature.com/articles/s4156…
