Read the explainer about the #StrandInteractions paper in nature by Martin Taylor MRC_HGU and Sarah Aitken

We are excited to highlight the 2024 Early Detection of Cancer Conference sessions. First up is "How is biology informing early detection?". See the full lineup of speakers & register today: earlydetectionresearch.com OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK #EDxConf24


It was a pleasure to host one of these talented #AspiringScientists in the Aitken Lab! She was supervised by our PhD student Hashim Hashim Ahmed Nur, and did experiments, analysed data, and gave a fantastic talk at the end of the week. The future is in great hands 👩🏾🔬


New research from Adelyne Chan 🇲🇾🇬🇧 and the Narita Group provides insight into different liver cancer subtypes and their prognoses. 'Titration of RAS alters senescent state and influences tumour initiation' nature.com/articles/s4158… In collaboration with Sarah Aitken & @Matt_Hoare20.


Happy third birthday to us! Punting and picnicking in sunny Cambridge - Aitken Lab with friends and colleagues from our Core Facilities


This postdoc appreciation week we celebrate Dr Claudia Arnedo Pac who is a computational biologist working on all things #mutations - as well as being our comic book extraordinaire! We're very grateful to have Claudia Arnedo Pac as part of the Aitken Lab 🤩 #NPAW2024 #CelebratePostdocs

📢Final speaker in this session is Sarah Aitken explaining how re-running cancer evolution reveals germline influences on carcinogenesis. #EDxConf24 | Sarah Aitken | Aitken Lab | Yale Cancer Center | Cambridge University | (AB)

💡Sarah Aitken (Sarah Aitken) talked about the strand asymmetry as a universal feature of exogenous mutagens. Her team studied lesion segregation model to show combinatorial genetic diversity. #EDxConf24 | Cambridge University | Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK | OHSU Knight Cancer Institute -pds


A great line up of experts sharing cutting-edge research to advance our understanding of cancer biology. 🧬🔬Basic science plays a crucial role in driving breakthroughs! #BiologyMatters | #EDxConf24 Rebecca Fitzgerald | Rebecca Fitzgerald Lab Sarah Mazzilli |Sarah Mazzilli Jennifer

Thank you Aitken Lab and everyone at MRC Toxicology Unit for the bittersweet farewells (until next time) this week. So many thoughtful words, kind gifts… and the giant carrot cake 🧡


First week Yale Cancer Center Center: check. Thanks to everyone at #CMCO (especially Müschen Lab, @coraline_mly, Jeffrey Ishizuka, David Braun, Rick, and Lars) for such a warm welcome, @YalePathology and Yale Biomedical Informatics & Data Science for interesting ideas, and so many blue skies 🦋
