🧪 From Postgrad to PI – how do you build a research career?
Dr @alexpapac.bsky.social shares how his studies at BCI @qmul.ac.uk @qmulfmd.bsky.social set him on the path to launching his own group, and what advice he has for cancer students with similar ambitions ⤵
Was a pleasure to visit and see all the progress the MSc program has been making! Brought back a lot of great memories. Amazing place to study and build your career.
🧪 Ready, set, degrade!
So proud to share our work in the @jclinical-invest.bsky.social, establishing a versatile approach for creating transgenic dTAG mice to degrade oncoproteins. We showcase that KRAS G12V degradation triggers antitumor immunity in lung cancer.

With the 2024-25 MSc class of the BCI
Was an absolute pleasure to visit @qmbci.bsky.social, present my work and meet with this year’s MSc class. Only great memories from my time at the Center, where I began my graduate studies as a masters student myself. Lifelong relationships with mentors like these are hard to find!

Super excited to announce my new lab at the University of Michigan opening Jan 2025! 🎉We’ll study how cells work together to shape the GI tract, with ties to regeneration & disease.
Hiring at all levels—esp. a research tech to help launch the lab! Info: huyckelab.org

Oncological Safety of MRI-Informed Biopsy Decision-Making in Men With Suspected #ProstateCancer

Findings suggest that prebiopsy MRI has a high negative predictive value, allowing men with negative MRI results to safely avoid PB when they are closely monitored
Association of polygenic scores for neuropsychiatric traits with self-reported professions based on analysis of 420k individuals from UK Biobank and Million Veteran Program. Look at the 'arts & design' category. Artistic talent comes at a cost--a piece of your mind :)
The Mendoza lab will be a fantastic place to train your research chops. I highly recommend applying!
Thank you so much Priya. Will be in touch for some potential collaborations!
Schematic representation of Papachristodoulou lab focus on prostate cancer and mitochondrial biology.
The Papachristodoulou lab at the Center for Cell Signaling will combine pre-clinical cancer modeling, targeted genome editing, and high-res metabolomics to study prostate cancer and mitochondrial biology. Will be recruiting at all levels with more info coming soon. Stay tuned!
Weathered, and now empty, postdoc bay
Last day of postdoc at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social today. Lots of great memories, friendships and failed experiments on this bench 😂. Off to a new start in January as I open my own lab at @rutgersuniversity.bsky.social focused on translational prostate cancer research and mitochondrial biology.
Have you checked out our starter pack? We've added more editors since we last posted about it!
As the community grows fast, here is an updated Metabolism Starter Pack 2 with loads of exciting scientists

Promoting a positive research culture is so important to support each other - and to ultimately enable great science!
@colemanlab.bsky.social has put together an array of scientists who are striving for this in many different ways ⤵️
#research #culture 🧪
Thank you!
Another great pack! Thank you
I have curated a second "metabolism" starter pack, as the first quickly got full. Please have a look, and I am happy to add others (sorry for those who may appear in both): go.bsky.app/CH1MctZ
Welcome to @bsky.app my friend @ddshapiro.bsky.social
Time to get him added to the GU onc and kidney cancer starter packs!!
