Thanks Heather, looking forward to it!
On July 18, I'll be hosting @XuDongZhang15 and @ZacGermon at an online seminar for @AEpiA. I'm looking forward to showcasing the work of two great colleagues from @UON_research and @HMRIAustralia . Tune in for some fabulous science and discussion!

Thanks @CancerAustralia & @KidsCancerProj! Excited to be given the opportunity to continue this project investigating much needed novel treatment strategies for Paediatric cancers #AML #DMG #DIPG
Delighted #DunLab 's childhood cancer project was funded by @CancerAustralia & @KidsCancerProj Free-radicals (#ROS) promote cancer signaling in RTK mutant- #AML & #DMG #DIPG Here we will develop new targeted treatments Congrats @ZacGermon @duchatel_ryan @Jonatha16752881 DE & ID

Congrats, Sam and team! A super interesting review. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute.
Our new review on #hypoxia and #DNAmethylation in #AML is online today. We explored complex and bi-directional interactions between hypoxia signalling and regulation of DNA methylation as well as implications for AML therapy. clinicalepigeneticsjournal.b…

Congrats Evie and team! Great summary of this paper below.
Incredibly proud to share the latest work from #DunLab, published in #CancerResearch! We highlight the combination of ONC201 and paxalisib for the treatment of DMG, the preclinical data informing PNOC022. Follow this tweetorial for a summary: (1/10) aacrjournals.org/cancerres/a…

A new study shows that inhibiting the oxidase NOX2 suppresses a common subtype of #AcuteMyeloidLeukemia (AML) in mice by blocking ROS in cancer cells—hinting that targeting NOX2 may potentiate precision therapies for AML. @ZacGermon @MattDun17 scim.ag/26a

Probably my favourite part of adding to the literature, students/stuff pinning their first author papers to our walls of honour! #DunLab #CSRG

A wonderful Ashley Dunn oration from Prof. Karen Vousden @LorneCancer @LabVousden. Exciting and motivating to hear her elegantly discuss (my fave molecules!) ROS and their importance in tumour development and progression.

Such a great few days @NDLR_conference, so grateful to have been given the opportunity to present my work and to hear about some of the amazing work going on in the field. Exciting times!
My newest fave #DunLab / #CSRG tradition is congratulating my just submitted PhD student @ZacGermon on winning the @NDLR_conference New Investigator award for his pioneering work showing oxidative stress promotes altered epigenetic profiles in #AML Super proud Z, congratulations!
