Had a blast attending an afterwork quiz organised by @nubiosciences PGR community fundraising for Children Cancer North. Third prize proved we are not only good at science and some of us got lucky at the raffle. Thank you for organising this, looking forward to the next event!

Molly’s story is a powerful reminder of why we are committed to fighting leukaemia. Every donation supports better treatment development. bloodcancer.org.uk/get-involved/g…​ Not only does research continue to grow, but our @bloodcancer_uk project plant grows alongside it, a symbol of hope.

Getting this right enhances our ability to study specific regions of the genome, helping us to gain further insights into leukaemia biology and ultimately discover novel ways it may be targeted.

Viruses effectively deliver gene-editing proteins into leukaemia cells. Envelope proteins ‘coat’ the virus, and the best envelope choice can vary between different leukaemias. We use fluorescence to decide which envelope will allow the best delivery of the gene-editing proteins.

Together with Professor Anthony Moorman, we will lead the two research projects that will explore the biology of ALL and how we can use that information to find the most effective treatments and reduce the challenging long-term side effects of chemotherapy.

Two research projects at Newcastle University are celebrating £4.1million of investment from Cancer Research UK to explore how children with ALL, the same cancer Dan had, can be diagnosed and treated more effectively to improve survival rates.

We’re proud to share the inspiring story of Dr. Dan Mattison — diagnosed with leukaemia at age 14, and now a Foundation Year 2 doctor. Dan and his family are welcoming a £4.1 million investment from Cancer Research UK (CRUK). Read more here: ncl.ac.uk/press/articles…

Last week on #WorldCancerResearchDay the whole lab and other colleagues from @NU_Cancer turned into bakers to help fundraising for @CR_UK, a charity close to us for their commitment to fund groundbreaking projects in cancer research. Lovely seeing the public so engaged! 🧁🧬
