This work has been highly collaborative & I thank all co-authors,collaborators,facilities & funders.Special thanks to Declan Whyte & Jim Norman for their invaluable contributions & #CRUK @cruk-si.bsky.social, @breastcancernow.bsky.social & @pancreaticcanuk.bsky.social for making this possible(14/14)

Collectively our data show that #neutrophils are a significant source of UPP1 in cancer, that UPP1 influences the immunosuppressive & motile behaviour of neutrophils & ECM deposition in lung, & in the absence of UPP1 the ability of mammary tumours to metastasise is reduced (12/14)

It was a pleasure to visit @sheffielduni.bsky.social
last week presenting our work "Neutrophil metabolism faciliates metastasis by influencing immune & ECM landscapes" at @mcb-sheffield.bsky.social seminar series.Thanks @erainerolab.bsky.social for the invitation & all who made it a memorable visit

The people are definitely a highlight of this conference, such a great community to be a part of @erainerolab.bsky.social @integrintraffic.bsky.social @mchastney.bsky.social @gounismichalis.bsky.social

A wonderful setting to talk all things Fibronectin, Integrin & Related Molecules related this week. Looking forward to sharing our work, showing that neutrophil metabolism influences metastasis through integrin dependent effects on immune and ECM landscapes - poster Mon/Tues & talk Wed 7:45pm! #GRC

Recently, I've had the unique opportunity to visit prisons & teach incarcerated learners about cancer metabolism. This programme, Cell to Cell @celltocellscot.bsky.social, allows us to attend the Education Department of prisons within Scotland to...(1/4)

Many thanks to @cancerresearchuk.org for inviting me to speak at the Women of Influence meeting. It was a privilege to share my research with such a diverse and inspiring audience, and an honour to describe the positive impacts my amazing mentor, Kate Banks, has had on my development #CRUKWoI 🧪

Last week I had the pleasure of hosting @johannajoyce.bsky.social at @cruk-si.bsky.social. Johanna gave an inspiring talk on the importance of the local microenvironment in cancer & in science, a captivating talk describing amazing science & an impactful assessment of inequity in the workplace 🧪

Today is #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience. Women continue to face systemic barriers & biases in pursuing scientific careers. Closing the gender gap requires breaking stereotypes,promoting role models & supporting womens advancement through actions that promote inclusion,diversity & equity 🧪
