A tomograph from an electron microscope with nanogold labelling Image from Dr Alice Sherrard
Alice will also have an affiliation @manchester.ac.uk within @fbmh-uom.bsky.social, as the new techniques Alice brings to Manchester open up many avenues for cross-disciplinary work, and for advancing the techniques available in the University of Manchester’s Electron Microscopy Core Facility
Her research will combine cutting-edge light & electron microscopy, genome editing & genomics in embryonic and #cancer models to address fundamental questions in #chromatin biology & her interest in how #TumourMicroenvironment signals impact chromatin regulation open up collaborative opportunities
Alice further developed dual-tilt chromatin electron tomography (2T-ChromEMT), allowing multiscale visualisation of chromatin architecture - used to identify cell type-specific chromatin signatures that she has begun to mechanistically link to epigenetic and mechanical pathways

Graphic with 'One Cancer Voice' logo reading "Together, we're pleased to see the National Cancer Plan for England reflects the six tests we laid out in August. We look forward to working with the government on delivering their ambitious commitments for people affected by cancer."
Last week the Government published its National Cancer Plan for England.
In 2025 #OneCancerVoice came together to outline six essential tests it needed to meet. We welcome the new plan and are committed to working together to ensure it delivers for people affected by cancer.
Great post from researchers across @mcrcnews.bsky.social sharing their advice for women & girls looking to work in #STEM - where #EveryVoiceInScience matters as we seek to do meaningful, impactful research to benefit people around the world 👇
