New discovery! Existing drugs could be used to prevent #BreastCancer instead of surgery. When looking at healthy carriers of BRCA mutations, Sara Pensa Austin Reed and Walid Khaled Walid Khaled found cells normally only seen in late-stage tumours. Read on bit.ly/3VzuVXp

Listen to our amazing boss Walid Khaled brilliantly explaining our latest research and future directions, and what implications it could have for BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers. On BBC R4!


Thank you The Naked Scientists for the opportunity to talk about our work! Have a listen to what Austin Reed and I have to say about it! Walid Khaled thenakedscientists.com/articles/inter…

A paper in Nature Genetics reports on a single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of over 800,000 human adult breast cells, which identifies 41 cell subtypes and highlights age- and parity-dependent effects. go.nature.com/49r4ir1


Read Cancer Discovery's #ResearchWatch: A Single-Cell Atlas Uncovers Cellular Dynamics of the Human Breast, summarizing the work of Austin Reed, Sara Pensa, MarioniLab, Walid Khaled et al. bit.ly/4dqgLyt Dept. of Pharmacology, Univ. Cambridge Cambridge Stem Cell Institute


Thank you Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK for recognising our prevention research!!! Walid Khaled


The workshop was funded by the Cambridge-Africa Alborada Fund, awarded jointly to Prof. Majeedah Afolabi-Balogun of Fountain University, Osogbo and Sara Pensa of Dept. of Pharmacology, Univ. Cambridge.



And it's a wrap! I am so happy about how much we have achieved. And this is thanks to Fountain University, Osogbo's support, the amazing work done by Majeedah Afolabi-Balogun's team in the MBGD lab, the trainers Francis and Abdurrahman Alkhamis FASLN and the amazing volunteers! Thank you all so much!


We are hiring! Postdoc position open to work on an exciting project on #MaleBreastCancer and #immunotherapy in Biogipuzkoa. Please RT! ASEICA Ikerbasque EACR More details here 👇


Cell Atlases as Roadmaps in Cancer Immunology: Walid Khaled will address this topic in a plenary lecture at #SABCS24 (December 10-13). Learn more: bit.ly/3Abv5fc Walid Khaled


Last couple of days of Breast Cancer Awareness month, with this gem from the lab! Thank you Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK Stand Up To Cancer UK for making our research possible ❤️


Looking forward to sharing what we learnt over the years from studying the mouse and human breast at the single cell level! Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK CRUK Cambridge Centre: Breast Cancer Cambridge Stem Cell Institute Dept. of Pharmacology, Univ. Cambridge
