Brennan Group

Many congratulations to the absolute Queen of the Brennan Group @callens_mia on successfully defending her superb thesis today! A thoroughly well deserved Dr Callens! We are all very proud!!

We were very proud of DPhil student in the group @matthewhollandm presenting and commentating on this year’s @theboatrace on BBC One. @Tatlermagazine did a piece on him and his experience that you can read below. tatler.com/article/the-bo…

A terrific day for the group at the Teddy Hall Relays 2024. First place in the Departmental category for the Drug Runners A, 13th place for Drug Runners B (including the Boss himself!) and 15th place for Dr Tryfon and Drug Runners C!

The Group thoroughly enjoying #rohmanon at the livestream in Oxford. Can’t wait for Act II! Superbly danced!

We are greatly looking forward to the 2024 MMCS Conference @MDPIOpenAccess, where the boss is given a keynote lecture. Do join us!

To celebrate his 50th Birthday, the Boss lights a guncotton pig made for him by DPhil student and group wine steward @matthewhollandm

@myron_evansPhD platform.opentargets.org Open Targets is a useful resource for this sort of thing!

Prob a dumb question: anybody know a tool where I can throw a gene list and get hits on possible small molecules that would antagonize? This is a gene list upregulated in surviving cells after treatment with one drug and looking for rational combos

We’re delighted that the boss has been appointed Head of @CmdOxford! Congratulations Paul ndm.ox.ac.uk/news/prof-paul…

We were delighted to see esteemed group member @callens_mia take home a prize for her stupendous talk! Well done!

A rare example of mintosis caught in the @ARUK_ODDI laboratory this afternoon.

We returned from our period of peaceful Paschal contemplation and rest to find that DPhil student @callens_mia has been selected to give an oral presentation at the ACSMEDI-EFMC MedChem Frontiers conference 2023. It’s guaranteed to be a cracker! medchemfrontiers.org/programme

A brilliant and informative infographic from PostDoc Alice explaining the work we do on dementia!

Group Wine Steward @matthewhollandm decants our whiskey of the month. February’s is courtesy of group alumna @ChemGray!

Following a refurbishment, it’s great to have the lab back to full capacity!

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year! A festive whisky sees off a year of exciting work!

It has been two fantastic days for the @ARUK_ODDI of celebrating our Drug Discovery Alliance together with @ARUK_UCL_DDI and @ALBORADA_DDI . Great talks and posters from several @ARUKscientist 🥳🗨️📊 @Alice_DiPasq

Another great day with colleagues at the @ARUKscientist DDA celebration event. Some fantastic presentations including one from our very own @Tryptofan_ on NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition as a treatment for #AlzheimersDisease. Watch this space! #medchem #drugdiscovery

A real privilege to be amongst incredible colleagues and collaborators from @ALBORADA_DDI, @ARUK_UCL_DDI and industry at the @ARUKscientist DDA celebration evening. Hugely motivating to see the progress being made in dementia drug discovery @ARUK_ODDI #dementia #drugdiscovery
