Our review on combining experimental models and computational methods to decode "time" in tumour immunity is now out! WithersLab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/im…

Together with Dr Jennifer Ashworth, we are delighted to share our recent review in Nature Reviews Cancer on "The importance of 3D matrix architecture in cancer & implications for biomaterial model design" → rdcu.be/dK15H ← Garvan Institute of Medical Research University of Nottingham Vet School Uni of Nottingham School of Medicine #WeAreUoN @UoN_BDI



Unexpected and slightly overwhelming news from UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences. I am extremely grateful to Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK for their constant support and most importantly the incredible scientists UCL Cancer Institute past and present who made this happen. A privilege to stand on the shoulders of giants.

Looking forward to this weeks Cambridge Immunology Network seminar with Dr Sophie Acton, Group Leader UCL Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology 🎙️“Stromal/Immune crosstalk to control lymphoid tissue structure and function” 📅Friday 12 July 1-2pm 📍 JCBC Lecture Theatre ➡️bit.ly/3RTbiqy UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences | Dr Sophie Acton


So, it turns out that we now can do Western blot from single cells. Cool ! At least it worked for them in #cancer cells. Full story Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…


📢JOB ALERT!! Our team is looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher to lead a project exploring the role of cancer-associated fibroblast (#CAF) heterogeneity in treatment responses in breast cancer, as part of a Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer project. Please share! More details👇


Happy to share the review Orion & I wrote for Current Opinion in Cell Biology ! Weiner Lab authors.elsevier.com/a/1jPA23PA3sYq…



Really looking forward to this meeting organised by stellar The Francis Crick Institute post-docs. Places are still available for posters and short talks, so do come along to hear and discuss the latest findings in cancer research.

What happens when unexpected happens!? 1) Johanna Lilja Ivaska Lab #JasminKaivola identified SHANK3 as a KRAS inhibitor 2) predicted SHANK3 depletion boosts KRASmut tumors 3) observed SHANK3 depletion kills KRAS-cells by ERK hyperactivation, apoptosis rdcu.be/dTQDP

Very pleased to have joined the team Discovery Immunology Journal as a senior editor British Society for Immunology journal publishing broad scope immunology research and review articles Please follow the journal ⬇️ And consider us for you next submission!

Such a pleasure to give a talk at the International Symposium Kanazawa University WPI-NanoLSI invited by my great friend Eishu Hirata. Thanks for the invitation, it has been an honor. Great interactions and amazing hospitality. A trip to remember both scientifically and personally


Also great to catch up with colleague Dr Sophie Acton and remember all days from eriksahailab.
