Our latest📰! Out today in Molecular Cell We used single-molecule imaging to directly observe human BRCA2 tumour suppressor in action! Spearheaded by Ondrej Belan & Luke Greenhough. A thread. (1/10) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…





Excited to share our work “Insulin Receptor Loss Impairs Mammary Tumorigenesis in Mice“. Led by Lauren Podmore and Yekaterina Poloz, our study reveals a major function of INSR in breast/mammary tumour initiation, likely independent of its kinase activity.cell.com/cell-reports/f…


Please check out Curtis McCloskey’s amazing work creatively leveraging scRNA-seq to discover and characterize a novel mammary progenitor population with implications for high-risk BRCA1 mutation carriers! Delighted and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this project! 🙌

The Career Development Association Medical Biophysics would like to invite alumni/early career professionals for seminars to share their career journeys! #uoft #uhn #careertalks

Happy to share the first preprint from the lab! Led by Sharon and made possible by the contributions of Prashant Nuthalapati Jacqulene Subhajit Maity Dun Ning, Grant Shryock, Zhenyu Xuan UT Dallas Biology UTD Natural Sciences & Math and AACR funding😊
