A colleague is organising a charity football match next week to raise money for @su2c.bsky.social. It will feature some high-impact hotshots from @cruk-si.bsky.social and @uofgcancersciences.bsky.social so please take a look and come along if you can! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/kick-of...

Update: Mini quiches not bad and some interesting science too. It’s a shame the IP landscape around organoids is so restrictive as I’d like to see more use of them in drug discovery.

Organoids Are Us 2025 is happening at the Scotland Institute this week. I didn’t sign up but might sneak a look at the posters and/or buffet later.

Things like this don’t surprise me, but I wish we could stop talking about biology in terms of rules. All we really have are models, which either have real-world applications or they don’t. Keep breaking those rules, ants.

Saw the number plate P53 APC today and can only assume that I work with whoever owns it.

Read all about our small molecule pan-Ras inhibitors below! A 15-year effort from a team who still can’t get enough of near-impossible drug targets. I was only at the fringes of the project myself but pleased to have helped out here and there. Great work all!

Finishing out in style with a thought-provoking address from René Bernards on therapeutic overactivation of oncogenic signalling.

A great final day with a strong showing for immunogenic cell death including the first clinical data I’ve seen combining IAP & PD-1 inhibitors. Exciting! #BACR2025

All done with day 2 of #BACR2025. Lots of great immune stuff today - I believe neutrophils were mentioned more than 500 times but I’m here for it.

Back in Edinburgh for day 2 of the BACR meeting. A bit nostalgic for my old commute, but I’m glad I don’t now have to get a bus to Little France. Or Roslin.

Day 1 of the British Association for Cancer Research 65th Anniversary Meeting. Some good stuff on DNA repair, nonsense-mediated decay, epigenetics, dormancy, metabolism and lots more.

Nice venue too - The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. Back again tomorrow! @thebacr.bsky.social #BACR2025

Congratulations on the move! I did my undergrad in Bath and it’s one of my favourite cities in the world.

Enjoyed visiting the Crick for the first time this week. Also if you’re in the area and need a breather then the nearby stretch of Regent’s Canal is lovely.

We are currently recruiting for a scientist with a background in cell biology or immunology. This is a permanent, lab-based position at our site in London. Take a look! cancerresearchuk.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

If you’re looking for an exciting immuno-oncology postdoc position in a great city then I would advise applying for this!

The Athena Swan Gold Award celebration was genuinely better than quite a few weddings I’ve been to.

I’m very glad to have been able to help out with this as a member of the @scs-voice.bsky.social committee over the past few years. Great work everyone!

I’m a little late to the party, but this is a great read.

Just registered for this. Should be good!

We’re currently recruiting for a biochemist, to be based here in Glasgow at the @cruk-si.bsky.social or otherwise down in Cambridge. Take a look, and obviously choose Glasgow! cancerresearchuk.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

Hi everyone, it’s been a while!
