An interesting story and great science from our current and former PhD students, Sara Cabral and Joe Parsons, in collaboration with Ciara O'Brien in Manchester and Chiara Francavilla in Denmark as well as colleagues in Sheffield, Hungary and the USA.

Proud to present a nice story on ER+ breast cancer dormancy regulation from our former PhD student Ollie Cottrell, in collaboration with Nancy Papalopulu's group in Biological Sciences, University of Manchester

Thanks to Naga Munchetty for inviting Prof @robclarkelab.bsky.social from Manchester Breast Centre, Tristan Loraine from Lobular Moon Shot Project, patients & other guests to speak about lobular breast cancer on BBC Radio 5 Live today
BBC Sounds 🔗 starts at 12:04pm www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Congratulations to Erin Durston-Hillyer and Finlay Spencer, newly graduated with Integrated Masters Degrees in Medical Biochemistry and Pharmacology, respectively, having successfully completed their research projects in the MBC Breast Biology group, supervised by Prof @robclarkelab.bsky.social

Lobular Moon Shot Project campaigners will visit Downing Street tomorrow 24/6 to call for research into lobular breast cancer.
Prof @robclarkelab.bsky.social explains why this research is needed to provide specific treatments for patients👇

Very happy to come down to Baylor Breast Center to give a seminar hosted by the legendary Jeff Rosen. It was great to catch up with my long time colleagues Kent OsborneRachel Schiff and Xiang Zhang. It’s not often I’m down here in Texas but they’re fantastic colleagues.

Great to see some of our PhD researchers presenting their cutting-edge breast cancer research at the Manchester Cancer Research Centre - Division of Cancer Sciences Postgraduate Research Showcase this week.

The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Young Women (Bcan-Ray) project in memory of Sarah Harding identifies which younger women are at increased risk of the disease and could lead to women in their thirties being offered breast cancer checks on the NHS.

A massive thank you to @proteintech.bsky.social for the generous lunch they treated me and my lovely lab group @robclarkelab.bsky.social to after I won their recent lucky draw! 🎉
It was a thoughtful gesture that made our week, now back to the science 🧪 🧫

Drop-in event at Westminster today for MPs to find out more about the Lobular Moon Shot Project's call to provide £20million of research funding for research into lobular breast cancer @mcr-breastcentre.bsky.social

Therese and @robclarkelab.bsky.social presenting the book they edited on “ A guide to breast cancer research “

Jean Abraham and Jay Carroll are hosting me and others for #CPBC2025. Looking forward to hearing some exciting cancer science including Sir Steve Jackson and about the patient experience.

This week a book project that Therese Sorlie and I have worked on for 18 months comes out. It is a collection of 24 chapters by world experts covering breast development, cancer, sub-types, metastasis, immunology and therapy. A Guide to Breast Cancer Research:

Looking for suitable candidates to apply for a newly funded BBSRC 4 year PhD project to study the role
of stiffness and the extra cellular matrix in regulating normal human breast proliferation in response to hormone signals. Closing date: 31st January

The European Network for Breast Development and Cancer 7th Annual Think Tank in Prague was fantastic as always. Great discussions, new collaborative possibilities and plenty of pre-Christmas festivities.

Congratulations to BB lab’s own Dr Mia Nuckhir on successfully defending her PhD thesis ‘Soluble factors in the lung microenvironment promote pro-metastatic behaviours of breast cancer’ 🎉
Thanks to examiners Angeliki Malliri & Erik Saha & Mia's supervisors Ciara O'Brien & Hannah Harrison
