Proud to have worked on this project led by Emma Kennedy and @andrea_pepper2. Our systems biology models helped show why leukaemia cells respond differently across patients.

🔬 New research involving our funded researcher Prof. Simon Mitchell @SiFTW is helping reveal why CLL responds differently to treatment between patients, including how leukaemia cells can change their survival strategy when treatment stops working.

Good luck to Dr Aimilia Vareli from the @SiFTW group in @BSMSMedSchool who's moving to Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Follows on from winning 1st prize for best short talk at the annual NFkB meeting in Barcelona for her work targeting in DLBCL! 👏👏👏

Busy month for our NFkB research teams in
@BSMSMedSchool!
@SiFTW & @ChrisPepper64 groups visited and presented at the annual NFKB meeting in Barcelona, then at the Brighton Tumour Microenvironment conference with Simon presenting the lab's latest data at both meetings!
👏👏👏

Our Multiple Myeloma teams from @BSMSMedSchool attended and presented at the International @Myeloma_Society meeting in Glasgow last week including Dr John Jones and PhD students Abigail Bentley, Ben Green and Tennyson Cerase
Well done Abbie for presenting in the poster session!

📢 Fully funded clinical PhD studentship available in my group! @MCRCnews @CR_UK @OfficialUoM
❓Can we wake up an ageing immune system to fight leukaemia? Our preliminary data suggest yes! 😎

New paper out this week from the @melissagammons1 group at the @TheCIMR in @scisignal identifying Girdin-L as a new functional ligand of the Dishevelled PDZ domain which promotes primary cilia disassembly. 📑 👇

Pleased to finally see this out. Congratulations to all the authors and thanks to the reviewers and editors for their support during the publication journey. Especially thanks to the @The_MRC and @wellcometrust for funding and @TheCIMR and @MRC_LMB for infrastructure and support.

Today in @NatRevDrugDisc (#NRDD), we proudly present a timely Perspective on the overall druggable landscape of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), with a strong emphasis on the recent and exciting scientific advances around cell surface RBPs (csRBPs) in disease.
Many congratulations and a big thank you to my absolutely amazing colleague @GaiaTimote98110 for putting this inspiring piece together, as well as to my fantastic collaborators and key experts in the field, @AbdelWahablab, Ryan Flynn, and Benson George for their very important contributions!
We hope that our Perspective will benefit the wider scientific community by providing a clearer understanding of the therapeutic potential of targeting RBPs and csRBPs.

A new proximity labeling and biophysical analysis shows that the protein Girdin-L is an unexpected ligand of the PDZ domain of the Dishevelled protein and plays an important role in promoting the breakdown of primary cilia on cells. @SciSignal scim.ag/4rs0gZP

It's chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) Awareness Day.
CML is a type of blood cancer that affects your myeloid cells (a type of white blood cell). Most people with CML can live a normal life, and will have treatment at home.

Today is World Lymphoma Day ❤️
Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that affects the immune system.
There are two main types - Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Some grow quickly and others more slowly.
More than 14,000 people are diagnosed each year in the UK.

Today is MPN Awareness Day ❤️
MPNs are a group of rare blood cancers that affect how your body makes blood cells.
There are 3 main types: polycythaemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF).
Around 4,180 people are diagnosed in the UK each year.
