Our work 'Novel WRN Helicase Inhibitors Selectively Target Microsatellite Unstable Cancer Cells' is published today in Cancer Discovery (aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…). Using genetic tools, in 2019 Cancer Dependency Map Sanger and others reported WRN as a synthetic-lethal target in MSI cell line. 1/5
We're recruiting a Staff or Senior Scientist (sanger.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Wellcome…). Walk into a mature project using CRISPR approaches for combination target discovery in oncology. We're looking for someone post-PhD, with an interest in cancer therapeutics and translational science.
Cool new tech for dual-guide CRISPR-Cas9 KO screens from talented Andrew Bassett and team Wellcome Sanger Institute. Single-step cloning, balanced sgRNA expression, low swaps, and all with validated spCas9 system. A great collaboration and a pleasure to work with such a talented group.
Amazing #postdoc position alert in our group EMBL-EBI! Funded by Open Targets , collaboration with the Garnett Lab Wellcome Sanger Institute and industry partners. We have produced the largest dataset to date of dual CRISPR perturbations (65K pairs, 45 cell lines, 2 tissue types) and are
This is so exciting! Thrilled for Isidro Cortes-Ciriano and team SAMBAI whose challenge is to understand the mechanisms through which genetics, biology, and social determinants affect cancer risk & outcomes in diverse populations
Absolutely thrilled and honoured to be part of team #SAMBAI - we've just received a Cancer Grand Challenges award to study the multifactorial basis of cancer inequities! Proud to be part of an all-star team led by Melissa B Davis, PhD! Thanks Cancer Research UK & National Cancer Institute for funding this important work! 🥳

In cancer genomes, large copy number alterations are common. But do they confer selective advantage in a tissue-specific manner? We induce aneuploidy in single cells and follow them with scDNA-seq. Out today at Nat Genetics, w/ Emma Watson (Emma V. Watson) & Jake (@jakelee0711)
Often the most exciting moment as a computational biologist is when collaborating with an experimental biologist to explore functional aspects of the genome. I was lucky to partner with Emma V. Watson, who is full of grit and curiosity that have led to this exciting story!
The publication of the whole genomes from the US AllofUsResearch cohort is great to see, but the choice of how to represent an overview of the genetic relationships has (rightly) drawn controversy, in particular how the concepts of ethnicity and race are mapped to it.
