Last week marked the end of my project on T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, funded by Ruby's fund. Over the past two years, I worked to understand the role of super-enhancers in this disease.

Thrilled to begin a new journey as a research technician on a @cancerresearchuk.org (CRUK) funded project in Dr Lisa Russell’s group! Together with Dr Nicholas Brittain, I’ll be exploring how super-enhancers contribute to leukaemia cell survival to deepen understanding of the disease.

September is #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. Our team joined the @childcancernth.bsky.social campaign #PaintTheToonGold to show support for children with cancer and their families. Together, we can raise awareness and keep pushing research forward.

Morning coffee and train for the whole lab today, direction #CLRUK25 in York! Looking forward to seeing everyone from the CLR-UK network! #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth

Recent nice weather called for a social outing of the LEGEND group, filled with fun, sport and a MUST stop for ice cream by the coast 🍦. We also had our first lab retreat at Cockle Park, featuring good scientific discussion 🧬 and a visit by our @ukri.org MRC collaborators from Edinburgh ✨

Our lab was delighted to host a visit from @cancerresearchuk.org fundraisers, campaigners, and patient advocates Sue Duncombe and Patrick McGuire. It was a pleasure to share our research, to give an insight into our daily work and highlight how CRUK support helps us move science forward.

@ljrusselllab.bsky.social has crafted beautiful items for Children's Cancer North! If you want to help this amazing charity, have a look at the shop : Lunch Bag: shorturl.at/jvdLm Phone Holder: shorturl.at/QbFXN Pouch: shorturl.at/ryX6x

Thrilled to attend the @nucancer.bsky.social 2025 conference, bringing together all the cancer research teams from Newcastle University. An enriching day with inspiring talks and innovative posters. @melvinjoy.bsky.social @phoebejsnow.bsky.social @alsayadi.bsky.social

I had the pleasure of showing families and children some of the tools we use in biology at the Newcastle University Discover Festival today! I shared what I do as a microbiologist, highlighting the importance of my work on antibiotic resistance. #NCLDiscoverFest #NewcastleUniversity

Lisa Russell just wrote an insightful article for #CancerNews from @cancerresearchuk.org where she takes us through the promise of super-enhancer biology and what it means for cancer. Read the whole article here: news.cancerresearchuk.org/2025/05/21/b...

Had a great time at #PintofScienceUK in Newcastle last night! Well done to the speakers for making complex research accessible and engaging. #pint25

Our lab was delighted to host a lab tour for the fantastic team from @teleperformance-gp.bsky.social We were happy to showcase our expertise in cell culture(Leti&Cami), gene editing (Ahlam&Ahmed) and data analysis (Phoebe). Thanks for sponsoring the Business Beats Cancer North East.

Don’t miss your chance #Newcastle, tickets for #PINT25 are out! @pintofscience.uk @pintsworld.bsky.social More info for venues and tickets here pintofscience.co.uk/events/newca... Repost appreciated :)

RE-POST ALERT Second chance to apply for the #bioinformaticspost funded by @cancerresearchuk.org to join our Leukaemia EpiGenomic and ENhancer Dysregulation group at @newcastleuni.bsky.social @nucancer.bsky.social, don't miss the opportunity! Closing date 1st May 2025! jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastl...

Today we went to the NUCancer PGR Conference to support our PhD students! Well done to the committee for their hard work to give the opportunity to students to present their project.

#BonjourBluesky et surtout adieu X!
