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

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)
Thanks! Could you please add our Cancer Centre which has since today an account @nucancer.bsky.social
Love the hashtag #KeepScienceCurious from
@helloeacr.bsky.social
Such an important message to drive innovation in cancer drug discovery and cancer research.
