👋 Meet the Research Nurse: Dr Evangelia Giannelou Evangelia supports a clinic focused on preventing myeloid leukaemias by studying early blood changes called clonal haematopoiesis. Watch the full video 👉 zurl.co/VVptZ #FocusOnCamCancer #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth

Dr Nisha Narayan @NishaNarayan15 @SCICambridge, who is looking to drive a breakthrough in the treatment of an aggressive blood cancer, acute myeloid leukaemia, using cellular barcoding to monitor individual leukaemia stem cells.

Our new Centre for Children’s Gut Health aims to improve the lives of children living with inflammatory bowel disorders. Over 100 children and their families helped launch the Centre, meeting researchers and medics and trying their hand at being a scientist. Find out more 👇

Check out the latest @NatureBiotech Research Briefing regarding our recent work on therapeutic targeting of cell surface RBPs in cancer 🔥🔥 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our latest study on the discovery and therapeutic targeting of cancer-associated cell surface RBPs is now published in @NatureBiotech 🔥🔥 This exciting work that identified and characterised NPM1 as a glycoRNA-associated cell surface protein, was co-led by Ryan Flynn (@BostonChildrens) and co-driven by 2 incredible scientists: Maria Eleftheriou (@SCICambridge, @Cambridge_Uni) & Benson George (@DanaFarber, @Harvard) I am greatly thankful to all co-authors that contributed to this work and grateful to our generous funders (@wellcometrust and @LeukUK) for their continuous support of our science. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Promising lab research led by Profs Huntly & Vassiliou @SCICambridge shows diabetes drug could prevent a type of aggressive blood cancer. Next step is clinical trials in people at risk. Funded by @bloodcancer_uk @CRUKresearch @LLSusa @wellcometrust ➡️ crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/news/lab-resea…

A big moment for people affected by blood cancer! We funded research @SCICambridge showing that metformin – a drug used to treat diabetes – could prevent acute myeloid leukaemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer. Watch this video to see why this matters 👇

The potency of abnormal genetic fusion in chronic myeloid leukaemia in our latest study @Nature 👉🏽 nature.com/articles/s4158… This cancer is an oddity - one of the few single genetic “hit” cancers, a short trajectory (few years) from start to diagnosis, and explosive growth.

Dinithi worked on this project as a postdoc in Sarah Teichmann's lab @SCICambridge. Find out more about the techniques Dinithi uses in our Core Concepts training resources, designed for researchers from all backgrounds: bit.ly/4lslDaj #ShapingAIforEveryone

We’re delighted to be funding research led by Prof Brian Huntly @Cambridge_Uni, which explores the role of the HOXA9 protein in AML. His research aims to pinpoint new therapeutic strategies which could pave the way for kinder, more effective treatments. leukaemiauk.org.uk/research-and-a…

We are still accepting applications for our new Master’s program! This is designed to train the next generation of leading researchers in stem cell and regenerative medicine, with classes & hands-on research at one of the world's largest stem cell institutes. Apply before 4 Apr!

Fabulous lunchtime fundraiser today @SCICambridge - Cake & Crochet - the perfect duo. Funds raised in support of the @TheBHF #GoRed #HeartMonth If you couldn't make it along you can still donate here bit.ly/3WPZqYX ❤️

Delighted and honoured to attend the World Cancer Day event at the UK Parliament, organised by @LeukUK. I will be discussing and promoting research innovation and clinical translation of novel cancer therapies. #WorldCancerDay

Insights from the first spatial atlas of the developing human thymus show that the human immune system is ‘ready to go’ long before birth 🔎 In the future, this could help scientists engineer new ways to treat immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, and cancer. sanger.ac.uk/news_item/huma…

🚨 New research co-led by @ImperialNHLI & @SCICambridge has mapped 67,000+ human vascular cells, across 19 organs!   This breakthrough offers insights into blood vessel diversity and could transform treatments for several illnesses 🧬  Find out more 🔽  ow.ly/cVyk50UbJKo

Congratulations to the team for getting funding for this exciting new project!
