IRR Group Leader Prof Ahsan Akram, appeared on STV last night to call for the rollout of lung cancer screening in Scotland. Early diagnosis saves lives - Scotland has no national lung cancer screening programme, in contrast to England, which has already screened 1M+ people. edin.ac/4qebkIr

We have a PhD project available through the Precision Medicine DTC at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social Details in the advert but working with a nice group of people in mutiomics in Lung Cancer www.findaphd.com/phds/project... 🧪🫁

So I logged into the 'other platform' after a few weeks to find account suspended and lost all followers/following. Anyone else have this happen?

Our latest paper is out. We characterise a known but understudied phenomenon in fibroblast biology of phenotypic drift in culture conditions using cell surface, trancriptonic and functional assessments. @edinuni-irr.bsky.social @cruk-si.bsky.social @ukri.org rdcu.be/evD0g

Great to host Chris Lucas from Edinburgh to give the @uofgsii.bsky.social Immunology seminar, on #macrophage #epithelial combined roles in #lung regeneration, key steps to new translational science in respiratory medicine. And learning across disciplines!

New paper from us looking at how the cancer associated fibroblast secretome is modulated by T cell effector cytokines doi.org/10.1002/1873... Congrats to all involved especially Lillian. Lots more to do with this work to understand with more fidelity. @edinuni-irr.bsky.social @cruk-si.bsky.social

What's the accepted name for a post? A blue? A Sky? A Bluey? 🤣

👋🏽 Blueskyers. Doing a phased migration over here. I usually post about our research successes, failures, lab group ice cream outings and lung cancer screening (and in no particular order).
