Sahil Kamboj from our collaborator Ambroise Lambert’s lab showed us how @roylelab’s favourite tools can be used to develop probes to tackle key questions for understanding the #tumour microenvironment. The #clem + endocytosis hot-wiring in spheroids were amazing 🤩

It’s been a joy to follow my DTP colleague + friend Will Scott’s journey on using genetic code expansion + #clickchemistry to develop new tools for imaging #actin. I’m looking forward to seeing this probe in cells soon! #cellbiology

Meet Valentina Zuco, first author of a new paper from Nadia Zaffaroni @IstTumori & colleagues that demonstrated the efficacy of new drug combination for desmoplastic small round cell #tumour in #PatientDerivedXenograft

Peto's Paradox : Many huge creatures, including whales and #elephants, generally avoid cancer when, instead, they should be at special risk because they possess vast numbers of cells, each of which could trigger a #tumour.

My ever amazing wife has just completed 100 miles walking in January for The Brain Tumour Charity. She's done this around her full time work and swimming coach / judge / taxiing commitments.

If you can spare something to donate to this charity, please consider doing so.

This year for me has been a long and difficult slog. In June, my world was turned upside down by the re-occurrance of a #spinalcord #tumour I thought I had left far behind me. Somehow, in amongst many dark days, I managed to find moments of #gratitude.
