We'd love to hear back from the community about GBMdeconvoluteR, our tool to infer relative proportions of cancer & TME cells from bulk GBM RNAseq data biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Made possible thanks to funding from UK Research and Innovation Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity OSCAR's PBTC IBIN BNS Neuropathology


🎉 Congrats to The Jackson Laboratory Summer Student alumni Emma Wade (left) & Gordon Ye (right) for being selected as 2023-24 Churchill Scholars! This competitive scholarship covers one year of master’s study at Churchill College, a stipend and travel costs. Read more: bit.ly/3XzMLI6



We just published in Neuro-Oncology 🥳 GBMdeconvoluteR quantifies immune & neoplastic cells in bulk RNAseq of IDHwt GBM:tinyurl.com/2bpueaas. More research facilitated by Leeds Neuropathology Research Tissue Bank funded by Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity and OSCAR's PBTC.


We think we've found something v.interesting 🧐:IDHwt GBMs can be stratified by treatment response which might inform targeted therapies.

We are thrilled to have published our recent findings regarding the way that GBM tumours adapt to, and survive, treatment in Genome Biology. This brief thread highlights what we found: 1/8
