An international research team, including Hector Keun and Alexandros SISKOS from S&C, has identified metabolic ‘signatures’ in urine that can determine the quality of diets in children across Europe and predict their metabolic health. imperial.ac.uk/news/233335/ur…


Reliable measurement of diet from self-report is notoriously difficult. Evidence from Born in Bradford & sister cohorts shows potential for urinary markers Urinary metabolic biomarkers of diet quality in European children are associated with metabolic health doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Our latest paper in which we show how targeting RNA splicing can impact tumour metabolism and could be a new way to treat an aggressive childhood cancer.
