Very excited to share our preprint on #AI directed Deep Visual Proteomics (DVP) on #PancreaticCancer precursor lesions (PanINs), in collaboration with @OmicVision @MundAndreas Thousands of proteins from as few as ~100 precisely microdissected cells in archival samples!
My sister has been sending me views from home - very much missing the lambs next door 🐑🌞
It was once again my turn to bake for our weekly joint lab meeting - this time I decided to lean into the cowboy theme 🤠🌞

If you really love your protein of interest commit to a tattoo @ardemp
PI3K dependent rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton following the addition of Class I PAK kinase-inhibitor. Please read about it in our pre-print!
Imagine better treatments for #pancreaticcancer. Ife (below) has made significant strides in a new approach. But because of currency devaluation, her PhD funding has been withdrawn. Please help, if you can. C Help me Complete my PhD Program gofund.me/0cc53325
Bought Mr Peaches an expensive climbing cat tree for his birthday, and in classic Mr Peaches fashion, he insists on laying very near but never on/in it 🙄
Lots of interesting science presented at the 20th North of England Cell Biology (NECB) forum at @UniOfYork! Ft a cool talk from @VicHart33 and a prize winning poster from @BianYns 🥳
