Congratulations to Aleksandra Janowska who has won our Postgraduate Student Thesis Prize for her work unlocking new avenues for studying the role of cell identity in the origin of cancer. The Prize is awarded yearly to a student undertaking an outstanding project during their PhD study with us.

✨ I’m looking for PhD students in machine learning who are passionate about applying AI to biomedicine to join my lab at the University of Cambridge.✨ More info: www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/vacancies/cr...

What an honour to have been awarded the CRUK Cambridge Institute Thesis Prize 2025 for my PhD project focusing on chromatin architecture in the @narita-lab.bsky.social at @cruk-ci.bsky.social 🎉 Big thank you to Masashi for allowing me to to this exciting project and the CI community for all support!

Congratulations 🎉 to our PhD student Aleksandra @atjanowska.bsky.social for winning the Best Thesis Prize 🥇. She and Jack (PhD student) presented their work today at the Annual Retreat @cruk-ci.bsky.social We had so much fun with the Team Building, congrats to @hana-aliee.bsky.social for winning! 🏆

🚨 Exciting conference for stem cell aficionados! ‘Frontiers in Stem Cell Innovation’ will bring together experts in stem cell biology from academia & industry to discuss key developments as well as challenges in regenerative medicine and disease modelling. fisci2026.eventbrite.co.uk Please repost 🙏

Yesterday our lab group had the pleasure of hosting CRIses, the department-wide social at CRUK. The theme was The Beatles, featuring some of their classic tunes and a Sgt. Pepper-inspired cocktail. Thanks to all who came! 🎸

I'm recruiting ML postdocs to join my lab at the University of Cambridge. Our research focuses on generative modelling, counterfactual reasoning, and sequence modelling to reason about and intervene in complex cellular functions in disease. www.cam.ac.uk/jobs/researc...

Ioana in our lab is participating in the Shine Night Walk Cambridge 10k 2025 tomorrow. Please join/support/share her team page: fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/team/the-fit... @cruk-ci.bsky.social

Really excited to share our latest work led by @mattiaubertini.bsky.social and @nesslfy.bsky.social: we report that cohesin loop extrusion creates rare but long-lived encounters between genomic sequences which underlie efficient enhancer-promoter communication. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A🧵👇

We are greatly enjoying the exciting science (and location) at ICSA 2025 Rome #ICSA2025Rome @icsasenescence.bsky.social

Tonight, we had a send off dinner for Hiro. We hope you enjoyed your time in our lab and in the UK as much as we enjoyed having you around!

We were honoured to host Prof. Makoto Nakanishi from the University of Tokyo, presenting his work on the senolytic activity of GLS1 inhibition.

Dinner with the two summer students we are hosting and who just presented the results of their hard work to the lab 🧪🧫💻
