Very grateful to #Springboard25 for this support to push forward our development of methods for spatial profiling of somatic evolution. These ring fenced opportunities for early PIs are hugely helpful to push forward our research at this stage of the lab's development.

I've started a list of people working on #cancer #evolution. Many more to be added, so do let me know if that is you. Also if you would like to be removed. go.bsky.app/QuAF4Mo

Researcher #1: I'm going to leave science! I just can't figure out what's causing degradation of my protein...

Researcher #2: U B quittin'?

A couple of days left to apply! We have a PhD position available in the lab to improve our understanding of cfDNA and cfRNA shedding from cancer cells, and the potential impact on heterogeneity. #cfDNA #liquidbiopsy #cfRNA

Resistance Management for Cancer: Lessons from Farmers Abstract. One of the main reasons we have not been able to cure cancers is that treatments select for drug-resistant cells. Pest managers face similar challenges with pesticides selecting for pesticid...

We just published a review of lessons farmers have learned for how to control pesticide resistance from evolving, and how to apply those to oncology to prevent cancers from evolving therapeutic resistance: bit.ly/48OfFdX
