🎨 Picture This: Someone Like Me transforms Newcastle University research into vibrant illustrated artworks at the Great North Museum: Hancock. A student‑led exhibition showing that research is for everyone — and that “someone like you” can be part of it. 👉 www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articl...

MoSMed PhD researchers taking part in the Future Leadership Programme

Thanks to Dr Chris Russell for running the Future Leaders Programme for our PhD researchers last week! A fantastic 2 days where our researchers considered leadership, strategy, and decision making, helping prepare them for leadership roles in academia and industry in the future!

Covalent Alkynylpyridopyrimidinones Targeting Cysteine 775 of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Overcome Resistance to Current Therapies Inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase activity are clinically effective treatments for lung cancers driven by activating mutations in EGFR. Resistance to inhibitors develops ove...

New paper out in J Med Chem showing that covalent targeting of C775 has the potential to treat osimertinib resistant lung cancer. Really proud of this work and the team that did it! @nudrugdiscovery.bsky.social @nucancer.bsky.social @crhorizons.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Thrilled that Emma Wadforth has defended her PhD viva! 🎓✨ This is the result of hard work, determination & her commitment to research. Thank you to Emma’s examiners, Prof Steven Cobb and Dr Céline Cano for their valuable roles and time. #PhDAchievement #ChemicalBiology @mosmedcdt.bsky.social

Recommendations for Quantitative Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) Proteomics using Controlled Quantitative Experiments (CQEs) Advances in mass spectrometry and associated computational tools have resulted in the wide-spread adoption of Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) for proteomics. Experiments using state-of-the-art inst...

Are you using DIA mass spectrometry in proteomics?

We have just put this paper online: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here, we came up with some Recommendations for Quantitative Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) Proteomics using Controlled Quantitative Experiments (CQEs)

It's been a pleasure teaching you over the last few years and we're excited to see what you do next! Stay in touch and we wish you the very best! #WeAreNCL #NCLGrad

We had a fantastic time at Newcastle University's #DiscoverFestival this weekend! A hands-on activity using methylated spirit and fruit to extract cells containing #DNA, sparking curiosity and great conversations with families and young science enthusiasts. 🍓🥝 #Outreach

Thrilled to welcome Dr. Sarah Barry from King's College London to Newcastle University as part of Women in #ChemBio seminar series sponsored by the Biochemical Society. Dr. Barry leads a research group focusing on bacterial metabolism and natural product biosynthesis. #WomenInSTEM #ChemicalBiology

Lots of fun at @newcastleuni.bsky.social Discover Festival today! Our team of scientists have been doing some fun pH experiments with guests, and explaining why scientists always wash their hands. Still time to join us until 4pm in the Hadrian Building, Lindisfarne Room.

Pleased to share a bit of recent success from the group as PhD student Ella won the poster prize at the @mosmedcdt.bsky.social conference in Durham! #mosmed25 bsky.app/profile/mosm...

And finally, congratulations to our presentation prize winners, Lizzie and Charlie, for delivering both style and substance. A very high standard of scientific work all round! Thanks Quotient Sciences for sponsoring these prizes and our Advisory Board for presenting them to the winners! #mosmed25

Next up, we have our poster prize winners. Well done Ella and Jan for putting together such informative and well presented posters. These prizes were sponsored by Pleco Therapeutics and Thermo Fisher, to which we are very grateful! #mosmed25

Congratulations to our conference prize winners! First up, our flash talk winners. Well done Jemima and Keir for delivering such polished talks only a few months into your PhD projects! Thanks to Almac Group for sponsoring these prizes! #mosmed25

Two fantastic days at the MoSMed Conference full of high quality talks, posters, and discussions! Durham Castle was a stupendous venue! Thanks to all our students, staff, and partners for making this such a great event. Looking forward to the 2026 conference already! #mosmed25

Great job by @asmaferiel.bsky.social presenting her work on molecular modelling of GALK1 at the @mosmedcdt.bsky.social conference! @wyattyue.bsky.social @matteodegiacomi.bsky.social
