The Androgen Receptor and MYC synergise to modulate the synthesis of Siglec-7 ligands in prostate cancer Glyco-immune checkpoints have recently been shown to be critical mediators of immunotherapy resistance across multiple cancer types. In clinical trials, immunotherapeutic treatments for prostate cance...

Sharing our recent pre-print where we drill down further into the transcriptional regulation of Siglec ligands. Here we show that tissue specific regulatory networks dictate changes in sialoglycan patterns. Work led by Rebecca Garnham and postdoc Adam Duxfield.

Sad to have missed it myself but our (relatively) new postdoc Dr Adam Duxfield had a fab day presenting his recent project at the @prostateukprofs.bsky.social Making Progress event in London yesterday!

It's vital that early-career researchers are not just exposed to their supervisor's perspectives. Mentoring allows them to talk to people with different backgrounds and career paths. Dr Emma Scott, University of Newcastle. Mentee.

If you're looking for support with your personal development and building the skills needed for career progression, take a look at our #prostatecancer Researcher Mentoring Scheme.

You can register as a mentor, a mentee, or both!

WORKING LIFE As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone. conceputal illustration of multiple people looking to center, with conversation bubbles with baby and academic related drawings inside

"The academic structure … makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury."

In this #ScienceWorkingLife, two postdocs share how, as women in academia, having children can feel impossible—and how talking about it makes them feel less alone. scim.ag/49BKZgp

Sign ups are coming in thick and fast!

If you're an early career researcher working on a #prostatecancer project this meeting is a must for you!

Network, hear from our amazing Keynote Speaker and take part in training designed to help you in your career.
