Many congratulations to my colleague and friend Dr Maria Hatziapostolou for this study on #PancreatiCancer published on @AGA_GHAdvances. Let’s keep on advancing research on this devastating disease! 💪🏻💜🧬🔬@vanGeestCancer @NTUSciTech @NTUBIOSCIENCES @PancreaticCanUK
A new study has revealed that a gene which works to slow the growth and spread of pancreatic cancer is ‘switched off’ by the disease, allowing it to become more aggressive. @NTUSciTech @ntu_research @NTUBIOSCIENCES @vanGeestCancer theguardian.com/society/arti…
