It's a mistake to think that the only wins in the #PhD worth celebrating are the big flashy events - submission, acceptance, awards. Here are 30 other wins in the PhD you might think are "no big deal" 🧵 #phdlife #phdchat #academicchatter #academictwitter #phdtips

The Dr Jessamy Tiffen lab is focused on understanding how epigenetic dysregulation drives melanoma development & how this differs between the sexes. More: centenary.org.au/research/labor… #worldcancerday #closethecaregap #centenaryinstitute #WorldCancerDay2024 #melanoma #Cancer #CancerResearch

This is remarkable. Cancer in the complete absence of a single genetic mutation. Another win for team epigentics! nature.com/articles/s4158…

More great work from my team on epigenetic BET inhibitors. Here we show they combine well with antiCTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) to combat melanoma with innate resistance to antiPD-1/L1 (frontline) ICI in a mouse model.

The 10 biggest cancer papers of the last 10 years (in my opinion) 1. Blocking PD1 activates the immune response against cancer - especially if the cancer has more mutations nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.105…

Super grateful to the AMRF for supporting Laura’s project on an epigenetic switch for undifferentiated melanoma.

Looks like it’s back to the ARC grants. #AcademicTwitter

SEX! Now that I have your attention, check out our review on these fascinating yet under appreciated chromosomes with roles in cancer survival outcomes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…

Super fun BBQ and swim at my house for past and present lab members and their families. Stephen and Alice are about to graduate with their MDs. Great science is so much more about the people than experiments. Cindy Hsin-Yi Tseng Centenary Institute

Cancer statistics in 2025 🇺🇸- new report 🚨 Cancer is becoming a new disease. We're seeing a fundamental shift in who gets cancer, moving from a predominantly male, elderly disease to one that increasingly affects women and younger people. Key highlights 🧵

1. What are the benefits and risks of GLP1? Our new study in @naturemedicine comprehensively maps all the benefits and risks of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1) (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound). By Yan Xie, Taeyoung Choi and me 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Deeply concerned for my US collaborators……

Thrilled to share new work led by Jie Yang in the lab published today in nature. We find that Aspirin prevents metastasis by releasing T cells from immune suppression by platelet TXA2. Cambridge University CRUK Cambridge Centre rdcu.be/eci1U
