PAPER OUT!! 🥳🎉💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻 A redefined InDel taxonomy provides insights into mutational signatures ⁦@NatureGenet⁩ Brainchild of the amazing ⁦@GeneChChKoh⁩ Tweetorial below!! 👇 1/n nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thank you @elisapanada2607 for a great seminar today at @LivUniISMIB about @CellRepMed and the process of peer-reviewing scientific articles!

🧬Excited to share highlights from our latest publication demonstrating preservation of clinical utility with whole genome sequencing (WGS) data generated from routine FFPE cancer biopsies! 🧵#CancerGenomics @SerenaNikZainal @EarlyCancerCam @MedGen_UOC nature.com/articles/s4146…

PAPER OUT!!🥳 It's on kids with #XP A DNA repair defective syndrome where patients are unable to fix UV damage in skin. Used 2 die as kids from Skin Cancer. No longer, thx 2 surveillance! But now some live 2 adulthood & develop early-onset dementia.. 1/n cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Off to @uniofgalway for a two-day workshop on Cancer Genomics with @GenomicsCRT students. Looking forward to talks from @_ADegasperi @mnileathlobhair @jbond2019 @mcdade_lab and others

Outstanding talks about environmental carcinogens and mutational signatures @myESMO #MAP2022 by @Lyonpaul from @IARCWHO and @_ADegasperi from @Cambridge_Uni and mini oral by @LimEmilia @TheCrick. Grateful to @CRUKresearch for the generous support!

Finishing up my PhD in 2012 I had a stipend of €18k. A decade later my students have a stipend that is only marginally higher (€18.5k, 3% increase). In the same time period rent for a single room in Dublin has gone up almost 70%. This is completely unsustainable.

To coincide with the team's paper release, Signal has been updated to include the more than 50 new mutational signatures across more than 18,000 cancer samples.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with @GenomicsEngland, @SerenaNikZainal and my fantastic colleagues. Our article published today is really a wonderful team effort! For the computational scientists, info on our updated R package is here: tinyurl.com/mrkn6h98

PAPER OUT!!! 🎉😄💃🏻🕺🏻 Single & double substitution signatures of #100kGenomesProject validated with #ICGC & #Hartwig data🙏 Cannot be achieved without contributions #NHSpatients nationwide🇬🇧🥲#visionary @GenomicsEngland @_ADegasperi tweetorial 2moro! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This week on The G Word #sciencepodcast, @chris_wigley is joined by @SerenaNikZainal, a consultant in clinical genetics. She discusses sharing data, personalised treatment for cancer patients and the impact of the 100,000 Genomes Project. genomicsengland.podbean.com/e/serena-nik-z…

Written six years ago, I'm so happy that this paper has finally found a home, thanks to everyone involved!

@MarconSBSLab This project looks so cool Luciano!

Do you have a background in physics, mathematics or computer science and want to move to Spain☀️? If your are excited about self-organization and non-equilibrium thermodynamics apply for this scholarship to join our lab. Deadline 27-01-2022, more info here tinyurl.com/2a2mh954

Two roles available in our team😁! Postdoc & RA. Looking 4: decent human hungry to learn just reflective listener team-player able 2 treat others the way they'd expect 2 b treated themselves. EVERYTHING else can be learned😉 jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/31087/ jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/31088/

NEW Review! @GeneChChKoh, @_ADegasperi, @xueqing_zou, @SophieMomen & @SerenaNikZainal discuss recent developments and challenges in the analysis of #MutationalSignatures to improve our understanding of origins and vulnerabilities of specific cancers. go.nature.com/2ULObUN
