Let's talk about how 😴 can stop some cells forming cancers. Firstly, many cancers are driven by the inappropriate activation of molecules that control the growth of normal cells.

In this study, PearsonLab showed that the enzyme cystathionine-beta-synthase (or CBS for short) is required to keep sleeping cells asleep rather than turning cancerous.

Our work using spatial analysis to investigate the tumour immune microenvironment of prostate cancers with DNA repair mutations is now out in Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer -> jitc.bmj.com/content/10/6/e…

Congratulations to our two Honours students Sirui (Cathy) Weng and Yuxi Cao for presenting their final talks this week. Both have accomplished a lot this year and we are very proud of them! Rick Pearson Anna Trigos Jian Kang A/Prof Elaine Sanij Keefe Chan

Continuing the tradition of playing bad Santa and good times with my old lab ⁦PearsonLab⁩ in a joint Xmas lab function. Happy Xmas!

I'm so grateful for having received an NHMRC Ideas grant to study cancer ecosystems in prostate cancer using spatial technologies and developing new methods. Looking forward to the years ahead!

Have spatial tissue data but not sure what methods or R packages to use for the analysis? Our paper describing SPIAT for spatial analysis and spaSim to simulate tissue spatial data is now out in Nature Communications!

Celebrating the retirement of my mentor and friend Rick Pearson He worked for Peter Mac Research 40% of his life and I worked with him 32% of my life! The best work comes when we work with people we like, trust &. respect. We celebrated SVIResearch where he started as a PhD student
