You've seen the impact that disease can have on the people you love. Their path can be long, painful and pretty damn tough, but together we can change that. JOIN US ON A PERKINS TOUGH TREK. Because the hardest challenges lead to the biggest impact! toughtreks.perkins.org.au
If you were like me and a bit sad earlier this week at missing out on the #AGBT25 festivities, I'd recommend taking a look at this recording of the Illumina session. Constellation, Single-Cell, Spatial, 5-base genomes and more. bit.ly/4i9Lbqa

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis…
Donations data published by the AEC clearly highlights how billionaires & big corporations have never had it better. They don’t pay their fair share of tax & buy political influence, while emissions rise + cost of living skyrockets. Only the Greens are willing to take them on.

Delighted to have contributed to this study with @rodcarlessi & the Liver Cancer Collaborative, led by Michael Karin (UCSD). ✨ Our research uncovers how FBP1 suppression via hypermethylation + a metabolic switch drive the evolution of HCC in MASH ✨ nature.com/articles/s4158…
SAVE THE DATE! @WEHI_research Spatial Technology Symposium 5-6 June 2025 in beautiful Melbourne! Free rego and you get to see amazing speakers, hang out, network and more!
Wow head-to-head comparison Visium HD FFPE, CosMx 6K, Xenium 5K, Stereo-seq v1.3 and Visium HD FF profiling on HGSOC and HCC. Heads-up @GESTALT_sp hopefully can save community some $$$$
