Next up in our #MeetTheResearcher series, we have Dr Lauren Hope. Having completed her PhD here at POG, Dr Hope is currently working as a research associate in @labwheadon.bsky.social looking at bone marrow modelling
We're thrilled to announce our Annual Golf Day will take place this year at Balmore Golf Club on the 18th May! 18 holes followed by a 2 course dinner, all in support of our research centre!
Please email FIMAC4463@gmail.com by the 9/5/25 to enter
We can't wait to see you there!

A respected clinical academic with 230+ publications and involvement in multiple clinical trials, Prof. Copland is pioneering new treatments for leukaemia.
Meet our inaugural #MeetTheResearcher: Director Prof. Mhairi Copland! Prof. Copland earned her PhD on novel drug combinations to eradicate Ph+/BCR::ABL+ stem cells in CML at the University of Glasgow under our own Prof. Tessa Holyoake. @mhairicopland.bsky.social
Exciting news! On Monday, we’re starting a new series titled ‘Meet The Researcher’ - In this series, we will introduce group leaders, post-doctoral researchers, and PhD students here at POG!
Watch this space!
This project has been generously funded by the Joan Snodgrass PhD studentship, which we are very grateful for!
This is an exciting project that compliments recent successful funding from the NC3Rs.
The project will utilise a novel and fully developed in vitro humanised 3D self-structuring bone model to investigate leukaemic stem cell persistence and behaviour within short-term (<3 months) and long-term (>1 year) culture.
New Studentship Alert!
We have a new and exciting studentship working with @labwheadon.bsky.social and Dr Gillian Horne titled: ‘Overcoming myeloid leukaemic stem cell persistence and chemoresistance in the endosteal niche’.
Look at the happy supervisors!
(More details below) 👇
We will miss Dr Hassan so much, he has been an integral part of the POG family for many years now. His boundless happiness and energy has kept us going. Good luck, Hassan; you can achieve anything you put your mind to!
Keep in touch!
This project will involve validating the bone marrow niche model, testing chemotherapeutic drugs, advanced Brillouin-confocal microscopy and performing biological assays to characterise normal, pre-malignant and malignant samples, working with Professor Helen Wheadon and Professor Mhairi Copland.
This project will focus on cell-to cell interactions and how the architecture of the bone marrow niche is remodelled during malignancy. LSCs dormancy and chemoprotective properties of the bone marrow niche will be areas of interest.
We are hiring!!
We are looking for a research assistant/ associate to get involved in an EPSRC Programme Grant that aims to engineer an in vitro bone marrow niche to control stem cell regulation, metastatic evolution and cancer dormancy

Six clean data plots,
Five grant re-submissions!
Four buffer stocks,
Three PCRs that worked,
Two glowing Westerns,
And a pipette calibrated perfectly!

Yesterday, we celebrated our international food day. It’s a fun day where all of our staff and students get to gather to share food from their home countries! We pride ourselves on being an international lab, it’s part of what makes us great!
