Delighted to share our latest paper published in @NaturePortfolio communications chemistry. A fantastic team effort led by @Ilaria_Bell @HannaGroup_ICL, including contributions from our @ImperialMed BSc Medical Biosciences students. nature.com/articles/s4200… @ImperialSandC

🚀We’re hiring! Join us @ImperialSandC as a Trial Manager on a @CR_UK funded AROMA programme. 💼 FT 2 years with opportunity to extend 💷 £57,785–£69,365 (Imperial PTO Level 4) 🗓️ Start: Feb 2026 | Apply by: 30 Nov 2025 🔗 Apply: lnkd.in/ec_4qa4n @ImperialMed

First-ever breath test could ‘revolutionise’ care for pancreatic cancer patients. S&C’s @profgeorgehanna is leading a UK-wide trial, funded by @PancreaticCanUK, for earlier #PancreaticCancer diagnosis. If effective, GPs could adopt it in ~5 years. ⬇️ independent.co.uk/news/health/pa…

#PancreaticCancer is often found too late — 62% of patients are diagnosed at stage 4 ⚠️ @imperialcollege scientists are testing a simple breath test that could help catch it earlier. A world-first that could save lives 👇 @PancreaticCanUK @ImperialSandC independent.co.uk/news/health/pa…

One of the most rewarding aspects of research @ImperialMed is witnessing students grow into confident, curious scientists during their degrees👩🏻‍🔬🎓 Huge congratulations to our students once again! Looking forward to seeing their exciting projects published soon😁 #OurImperial

Fantastic 3 days at #BMSS2025 of inspiring science, great discussions, and catching up. With support of @bmss_official travel grant, I presented our headspace VOC extraction workflow with clinical applications in early GI cancer and sepsis detection. @ImperialSandC @ImperialMed

9/n Huge thanks to the team: Innah, Bibek @ogsurgery, @profgeorgehanna @ImperialSandC @ImperialMed @imperialcollege Read the full open access study here: nature.com/articles/s4159… Double celebration day: PhD Graduation + New Paper

8/n This supports VOCs as surrogate readouts of therapy-altered lipid metabolism. Why this matters: This small piece of work demonstrates the potential of VOCs in breath or biofluids as real-time biomarkers for monitoring treatment response in precision oncology.

[Paper Tweet-torial] Can VOCs be used to non-invasively monitor cancer therapy response? In our latest @NaturePortfolio @SciReports study, we explore the volatilomic signatures of mTOR inhibitor resistance in colorectal cancer. 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159… 1/n

Honoured to host Prof. Jimmy So @NUSingapore @NUSMedicine and share our work on VOCs for early cancer detection. Also great to learn from his insights on improving outcomes for gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis @ImperialSandC @imperialcollege.
