I am so proud to see our review written with Pollard Lab Jeff Pollard on the history of tumor associated macrophages published on Nature Reviews Cancer ! @MRC_CRH Macomics Limited

Masterpiece from Luca Cassette & Jeff Pollard - a true gift to the community detailing timeline on macrophage biology and contributions to cancer development. THANK YOU Luca Cassetta & Pollard Lab A timeline of tumour-associated macrophage biology pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36792751/

Our review with Luca Cassetta made it to the front cover of Nature Reviews Cancer !! This image is based on Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe to depict the impressive plasticity of macrophages

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our group leader, Prof. Jeffrey Pollard. Jeff was a passionate scientist and an outstanding mentor who will be sorely missed. We will continue his legacy through our ongoing research. Our thoughts are with his wife Ooi Thye and the family.

Our postdoc Florent Petitprez is at #EACR2023 in Turin. He will present a poster tomorrow (EACR23-0472), don't hesitate to go and meet him!

You can now go check out the work of Florent Petitprez and even have a chat with him directly this afternoon 👇

Many thanks to Bin-Zhi and Johanna for this beautiful piece reflecting on Jeff's life and legacy

Glad to see that our review was the 4th most downloaded in 2023. It was the last manuscript I wrote with Jeff Pollard and it means a lot to me. Pollard Lab
