Presenting Dr #2 from our group Dr Samuel Olaitan from Lagos State University TETFund Been a pleasure to watch you grow and develop as a scientist during your time with us. Many thanks Dr Steven Coles from University of Worcester and Prof Neil Crickmore Biochemistry & Biomedicine @ University of Sussex for examiner duties.


Major congrats to Dr#3 from our group Okan Sevim who passed his PhD viva yesterday. A super talented researcher, it’s been a privilege to serve as Okan’s supervisor from MSc to PhD in Biochemistry & Biomedicine @ University of Sussex Sussex Life Sciences Thanks to examiners Simon Mitchell BSMS & Faraz K Mardakheh Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University

Presenting our latest work out now in Oncogene Journal driven by Megan Wagstaff in Sussex Life Sciences University of Sussex Sussex Cancer Research Centre Sussex Blood Cancer Research Wnt UK. We show the oncogene β-catenin interacts with a Wnt mRNA network in myeloid leukaemia cells Quick tour🧵👇 1/ nature.com/articles/s4138…






Outstanding work by Jan H Voss was just published. Different WNTs act differently even though they engage FZDs and LRP5/6. Receptor-receptor association is not necessarily followed by higher order clustering. davide calebiro Yining Yan Lukas Grätz nature.com/articles/s4146…

Awesome new work out by the Schulte lab lab showing the complexity of WNT ligand interactions with FZDs at the cell membrane and implications for Wnt signalling activation out now in Nature Communications


Calling all WntUK ECRs! As the vision for a 2026 Wnt meeting takes shape we're planning a one-day ECR event. Interested in helping shape and organise it alongside our ECR rep Nadia Nasreddin? A great opportunity to connect, contribute, and develop your career. Get in touch!



Forgot to say a huge thanks to Diu Nguyen_vn_uk for inviting me to give a Haemato-Oncology seminar at Queen Mary University of London Barts Cancer Institute (Queen Mary) last week. Great to catch up with valued colleagues and discuss the latest research Looking forward to returning next month for the BCI RNA HUB in cancer symposium




Fantastic new work out from the Gammons/Bienz group at MRC-LMB Cell Biology The CIMR in Nature Communications revealing new insights into Wnt signalosome assembly by Axin. 👇👇👇
