From an accidental discovery of hidden biology to a new framework to understanding and diagnosing rare disease. Thrilled to share the most recent work from our lab and the amazing Jimmy Ly. wi.mit.edu/news/alterna...

Two back-to-back stories on mitosis led by my incredible postdoc @krunovuk.bsky.social at @institutrb.bsky.social, in which we challenge the gliding model of CENP-E-driven chromosome congression! Today in @natcomms.nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s414... doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Today @anthropic.com released PubMed integration for Claude. No hallucinations. Just real science, real data. As a beta tester, this has been game changing— a supercharged research tool. Here are 6 prompts that will transform how you search the literature. A 🧵 www.anthropic.com/news/claude-...

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

We are looking for our next PhD student to join us 🤩 www.mcclellandlab.com to understand cancer radiation therapy's impact on DNA damage repair and chromosomal instability. Prestigious funding from CRUK RadNet. Please contact me informally - deadline 5th Nov! crukradnet.colcc.ac.uk/phd-students...

Fantastic meeting with an excellent line up of speakers. Come join us for the Australian Cell Cycle meeting in Melbourne.

@currentbiology.bsky.social has always been one of my favorite journals but I think they have now outdone themselves www.cell.com/current-biol.... And picked up by the @nytimes.com as well! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/s...

As students come back to campus in the UK, 8% of female students are likely to experience rape during their undergraduate years, especially in the first months of their studies. revoltsexualassault.com/wp-content/u...

@mariasecrier.bsky.social & I are looking for an enthusiastic & excellent data scientist for a 4-year postdoc to understand cell cycle dysregulation in cancer. Deadline 15th October. Get in touch if you have any questions. Please repost! More details: www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-...

We're hiring ! Specifically....we are seeking to appoint a creative and motivated Postdoctoral Training Fellow to study how drug resistance emerges in homologous recombination defective (HRD) breast cancers and how this could be targeted. jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/13...

Thanks for sharing our work @bladoux.bsky.social (you just made the lead author @marcoenriquez18.bsky.social very happy 😊)

Research is never a solo effort. It takes teamwork. It takes belief. It takes collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and communities. We know what it takes to beat blood cancer. #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth @bloodcanceruk.bsky.social @sussexbcr.bsky.social @sussexcancer.org 🩸

Checkout our latest research in @natcomms.nature.com rdcu.be/eBqBI A high-resolution, nanopore-based artificial intelligence assay for DNA replication stress in human cancer cells. A collaboration with Mike Boemo’s team

I’m excited to highlight our latest paper, just published in Cell 🎉 We report the existence of a previously uncharacterized signaling pathway that is responsible for activating cell death upon loss of gene expression. 1/n 🧪 www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

... and this one too! Again, quite amazing microscopy. Major congrats to Maria + colleagues for getting this story online.

Excited to share our new @NatureComms paper! We developed C-604, a selective inhibitor of Greatwall kinase, and discovered that cancer cells' sensitivity to it depends on a simple ratio: B55α/Greatwall expression levels. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are pleased to annouce that a 3.5-year PhD position is available in the GDSC, for a project jointly supervised by Prof. Hochegger and Dr. Oliver. For additional details, inc. candidate eligibility, and how to apply: www.sussex.ac.uk/study/fees-f...

Tony Oliver’s and my lab have a joint phd position available to investigate mitotic entry control mechanisms Please forward to prospective students! Thank you url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/ukMTCoy6DT...

Delighted to share a chemical-genetic system we developed to rapidly inhibit a serine/threonine phosphatase complex (within secs). This will make it much easier to study #phosphatases. The system is also applicable to other “undruggable” enzymes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Lovely retrospective for Dan Dennett.

Thanks to the @simplyoncology.bsky.social guys for this opportunity to talk about everything high grade glioma!

Interesting 🧵 about publishing in Math. tl;dr: All papers in Math are preprinted. When publishers ask big $ for subscriptions or OA, mathematicians simply say "No thanks, we read these papers already on arXiv." Publishers then force unis to buy Math journals by bundling them with Bio journals.

Here is my deep dive into Life, the Universe and Everything with Lex Fridman. Discussions include Astrobiology, Technosignatures, the Physics of Life, Quantum Mechanics and the Philosophy of Science. Big fun 3 hr + conversation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhZA...

Book of the year for me!

Our last study👇- loss of #telomerase drives #cancer #regression through dual mechanisms! In #zebrafish #melanoma, tumors collapse via tumor-autonomous pathways (apoptosis, cell-cycle arrest, differentiation) and nontumor-autonomous #immune rejection.

favourite podcast series this year: therestishistory.com/48-the-frenc... Fascinating, how history repeats itself!

We are looking for someone to join our lab as a researcher (scientific officer). Advert and information on applying is here: jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/10... It's a great team and a wonderful place to work!
