Less Survivable Cancers receive just 19% of research funding despite causing 40% of all cancer deaths. This glaring inequality is why we're calling for government to #CloseTheResearchGap. @lesssurvivable.bsky.social

J-domain proteins: from molecular mechanisms to diseases

We wrote a paper on the conference about JDPs in Gdansk and I have several of my latest research explained and presented in it.

Our latest paper has just been published in Cell!

doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

We developed a new method called MCC ultra, which allows 3D chromatin structure to be visualised with a 1 base pair pixel size.

This is very cool!
Two alternative isoforms of PRC2 accessory subunit AEBP2 modulate developmental Polycomb functions in opposite ways - with broadly-expressed AEBP2L acting as an intrinsic inhibitor in somatic cells

Run 9/10 5ks in October and my first night run for a long time. I am surprised it wasnt faster. I tried to pick a flatter route, but I couldn't always see my feet! One to go!! 💸💸💸 fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/colins-...

That was quick. I have reached the £50 mark - sufficient to buy enough glass slides for a scientist to examine 1,470 tumour samples through a microscope. A little goes a long way!!
