Summary of some our activities by our very own @roscobacterium.bsky.social for world cancer day.
To celebrate world cancer day, I want to outline some of the work we are doing in @mmimic.bsky.social lab. We are interested in how Salmonella Typhimurium adapts to the tumour microenvironment during bacterial cancer therapy and how it interacts with cancer and immune cells.

Happy to have made the move to where the sky is clear! A bit slow to do so, so very happy to see all the familiar faces as well as new 👋! The lab relocated to the @cruk-si.bsky.social last year, so it’s been busy reforming! 👋
