🎓 We have a fully funded PhD opportunity in my lab and the Newcastle Cancer Drug Discovery Group to explore how oncogene-driven replication stress fuels Squamous Cell Carcinomas—and how to target it. #CancerResearch #PhD 📅 Apply by: 4 Dec 2025 🔗 Apply here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Celebrating #WorldCancerResearchDay with a book & bake sale for CRUK! Great turnout from across labs — including our Drug Discovery group. Love seeing science come together for a cause that drives our work. 🔬 #CancerResearch #CRUK #NUCentreForCancer #CancerDrugDiscovery #KeepScienceCurious

Huge thanks to Caterina Missero for the invitation to Naples and the CEINGE Research Centre! It was a pleasure to talk about our research on cSCC, fibroblasts & senescence. Fantastic to get to know everyone—great discussions, ideas, and scientific exchange. Looking forward to staying in touch!

Wishing everyone a fantastic day at our @mosmedcdt.bsky.social PhD conference!

Happy International Women's Day! May you all have a fantastic year ahead of you! #Rights #Equality #Empowerment

Thanks to @walkolab.bsky.social for visiting @newcastleuni.bsky.social and sharing their insights into the interactome of YAP/TAZ.

A year ago I started working with this fantastic group of women in @nudrugdiscovery.bsky.social. It is a privilege to be part of such a hard working, dedicated and inspiring team. #Empower&Inspire #WomenInScience @newcastleuni.bsky.social @nucancer.bsky.social

Today is #WorldCancerDay A day to raise awareness for patients and families affected by cancer, but also a day to celebrate and support the scientists & researchers who study cancer and develop novel anticancer therapies @nucancer.bsky.social @nudrugdiscovery.bsky.social

We have a #PhDstudentship starting in Sept with me and @hannahstewart92.bsky.social ideal for candidates with interest in research in #medicinalchemistry and #organicsynthesis Contact us for more details but apply through the university portal, details in the link: www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Read about our potential breakthrough in oncology - restoring wild type p53 function with ASTX295. This molecule was co-developed with Astex Pharmaceuticals, and is currently showing great phase I trial readout! #cancer #medchem #clinicaltrials www.linkedin.com/posts/cancer...

Great work from our collaborators @walkolab.bsky.social elucidating the functional interplay of YAP and RIF1 in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. #cancerresearch #skincancer

Our research is critically dependent on funding we receive from @cancerresearchuk.org and we are also willing to do our bit towards fundraising. In 2024: Funds Raised: £6,440 (+£1,031 gift aid) Online Donations: 283 Events: Great North Run, Race for Life, Shine Walk, Leeds Marathon, bake sale, quiz

Last outing of my Bath lab together with the Walko lab in 2024. 🎄 🥳 Wishing everyone a relaxing break! @walkolab.bsky.social

Exciting collaboration from our @nudrugdiscovery.bsky.social team @newcastleuni.bsky.social, @crhorizons.bsky.social and @diamondlightsource.bsky.social to accelerate hit discovery with structure-based drug design. Big shout out to our structural biology team led by Jane Endicott & Martin Noble!🙌

PhD student Ioanna Kontou is presenting her work on how DNA damaging agents impact fibroblasts and consequently promote cSCC at this year's "Skin @Bath" conference @uniofbath.bsky.social @walkolab.bsky.social

Had a fantastic time at the BACR breast cancer conference, meeting friends and collaborators, and presenting work from former PhD @emilylay.bsky.social #cancerresearch #fibroblasts

Follow our group also on @nudrugdiscovery.bsky.social We are a team of medicinal chemists, pharmacologists & cancer and structural biologists based at Newcastle University, part of Cancer Research Horizons @crhorizons.bsky.social & the Newcastle University Centre for Cance @nucancer.bsky.social

Thinking of applying to Newcastle for postgraduate study? See details below of an upcoming Postgraduate Virtual Open Day on Wed 27th Nov: www.ncl.ac.uk/study/meet/p...

Our Newcastle University Centre for Cancer has its own account @nucancer.bsky.social Follow us to hear from our 100+ cancer researchers & how they translate their research into the clinic. For example our Drug Discovery group developed the clinically approved Rucaparib (PARPi) & Erdafitinib (FGFRi)

Love the hashtag #KeepScienceCurious from @helloeacr.bsky.social Such an important message to drive innovation in cancer drug discovery and cancer research. www.linkedin.com/posts/europe...

In October I walked together with colleagues the #NightShineWalk in support of @cancerresearchuk.bsky.social to raise vital funds for cancer research 💙🩵💜 Such a great experience! Thanks to those who supported our fundraising. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/team/newcast...

Our methods chapter on cell-derived extracellular matrix and its tumor cell interactions published in Methods in Molecular Biology - Imaging Cell Signaling this year link.springer.com/protocol/10....

Great way to find your cancer research community again.

Congratulations to Clare Isacke for being awarded Women in Science for 2024 by the Metastasis Research Society! Well deserved!
